Hello,I'm gearing towards making my first deal for buy and hold and I have come up with two different approaches to make this happen in my market, Los Angeles area.Scenario 1) Buying a fourplex with a 203k Loan locking in today's low interest ratesScenario 2) Buying a fourplex using a private money lender, rehabbing it and refinance using an FHA loanA couple things to consider are low money down available, access to contractors at good prices and time availability to use this BRRRR approach.What are your thoughts on this?
