Obviously, being a recent college graduate, I won't have the cash available to buy outright, so I will need to finance using either using an FHA loan or private/hard money lending.

I bet most people wish they bought all they could in 2015.

I'd never work with a borrower seeking 100% financing though.Or another situation I've seen is that the borrower has enough cash to close and has a private lender to cover rehab, but the HML needs to see extra liquidity in the bank and doesn't accept secondary financing. 

. $2300-2500 / month for a 3BR 2BA house in my area, and with my mortgage currently less than $1800 it may be my best bet. 

I know this is a late response, but if your still looking please private message me.Thank you

Also, when getting funded by private/hard money lenders do the payment work like a normal loan?

I got started in the Private Equity sector and REITS, every time I see a post with the term Multifamily in it, I immediately think multifamily over 100 units, however on BP not knowing the exact number I'd probably guess 97% of the post titled multifamily are actually post about Duplexes, Tri-plexes, and Quads, which are terms the Guru's have steered away from since using the term multifamily will get you more attention.

We probably are going private money.

Can I send you a private msg?
