Just having a difficult time getting started.

I am looking for the opportunity to capitalize on these opportunities with more than just making a little bit of money( that comes and goes) I am really excited about the experience both the difficult and the fun parts.

I'm looking to execute the Brrrr method around the Newmarket, Ontario and surrounding area where finding any deal under 500k is difficult, along with rehab costs, I certainly do not have the amount needed to close a deal without borrowing additional funds.

Was considering going straight to Pace but not sure how difficult that may prove to be. 

In those market conditions, DCR and LTV requirements became very strict, appraisers were extremely conservative with valuations, and the capital markets had dried up significantly, so even if you had an amazing property and managed to keep your occupancy high, it was still difficult to refinance.

How difficult is it to get a hard money loan for a distressed property in a rural area (let's say with a 400 square mile area county that has a population of 100,000)?

This may be true, but the inventory released is pent up due to expiries from covid forbearance, most likely all of these loans will be heavily scrutinized by the numerous regulators, and will be difficult to navigate. 

Hi Timothy, as you mentioned above here in North Jersey it's a bit difficult getting a Quad Plex to come along.

So an example, say I have an excellent plan, have met with professionals picked brains, learned about my local markets, and the properties, would it be difficult for me to seek financing from investors, having no experience?

It definitely makes it more difficult to cash-flow unless I go 70%-80% asking price on most properties.
