I was wondering if it would be better to do two private loans or one HML (first position) and a private loan (2nd position)thank you for your help!

can utilize the DSCR loan !

Check in with @Joseph Chiofalo for construction loans or construction to permanent financing.

Todays interest rate environment it is not a bad idea because it will be challenging to get returns that meet your interest rate you are payingIf your loan is 2-3% I would out the money in an account earning 4-5% compared to paying down a 3% mortgage - but I also get the stress relief of having a low mortgage and lots of equity

I would like to start investing soon, but my full time is brokering for Hard/Private money loans.

The old loan is paid off for $200KE.

If I rent it, it won't cash flow more than 2%, which is sort of ok as my goals is creating a portfolio of additional income for retirement (12 years from now)  If I sell it I will likley lose a little money ($5-$10k) I Used a VA loan to purchase zero down and will be living in it for 24 months while I do the rehab.purchase price $330K, rehab $15k, Estimated ARV is $370k.  

I have heard good things about KBKG and they have an online tool for cost basis of 600k and under https://www.kbkg.com/residential-costsegregator I personally used CSSI and they were awesome https://costsegregationservices.com/ but don't offer DIY.Hope that helps!
