As I sit and wait the corporate job situation, I want to get into the game and have explored a SDIRA to invest in my partnerships.

Not really concerned with location as long as the numbers work and the company is reputable. 

We want to explore rent to own option with tenants so we figured we would be communicating with them.

If you want to use other people's $ you need to have a lot of knowledge and have very good reputation. 

Then as your experience and reputation grows, moving into an REI when you are able, will demonstrate your abilities and show everyone you can be taken seriously.Good luck!

Any reputable lender is never going require points upfront; this will come out of the loan proceeds.

Greetings BP Family, I remember when the Corona Pandemic first began, there was so much talk about all the opportunities to come, the lowering of housing prices, the sea of foreclosures to come ect....Quite Contrarily, Ive noticed that it has only made things worst and more competitive for buyers, once again giving the power to the seller.Some observations:Prices have gone up- I saw a house that was listed two months ago in probably a F class neighborhood relisted for 25,000 more this weekThere was already low inventory, so now that there are even less homes for purchase...folks may have to fight over the few availableAuctions are suspended so this is one less route to explore.

Does anyone have a reputable GC for a full gut rehab in Baltimore?

I want the lead that isn’t discerning regarding a reputable company.

I would recommend exploring a commercial loan, which will require 20% down.
