There are plenty of people looking to deploy cash into real estate but don’t have the knowledge or bandwidth to run a successful flip or BRRRR.

I have bought several places from people who did hard money and could not complete the project before they ran out of funds. 

Thank you James, you’re right, it’s so much easier dealing with the right people who as you stated, shoot you straight!

It's slower, but patient people tend to make wise investments.

I've seen some people house hack a single family home by renting out the rooms, but keep in mind that traditional lenders would not be able to use the income from renting out the rooms (known as boarder income) towards additional income on the application.

As long as it meets "minimum" size standards it can look like a broom closet and be considered a bedroom... ridiculous, but it's out there, and in a tight market people will pay for it... 

I appreciate you listing the steps you took / people you went to in order to fill the gaps.

I’m loyal with people who provide good service.

Blankets and quilts people might dry but not wash in your machine (take them somewhere and think they are dry and have to throw them in again when they get home). 

What I love most about what I do is building genuine connections with people—whether it’s homeowners, investors, or fellow professionals.
