I told him I was glad I did not live on that street.  

Making an emotional purchase decision on an investment property and ignoring the numbers. 

Hi everyone,On the back of my last question on here I now have another!

I was told to take out hard money loan and than told it not bad just would be better option to only use on  fix and flips. 

Thanks everyone for your feedback on this. 

I am looking forward to connecting with fellow lenders, accountants, and real estate agents to get more perspective and build my knowledge on real estate so that I can start to build wealth in my mid-20s and onwards.

Yes, it cost me a brokers fee on the buy side, I list for $199 flat fee.  

@Savannah Holzer- my current focus will be on LTRs for time being and due to geographical constraints.

You could pull some cash out to do the renovations and then refinance on the ARV once its done in 6 months and take out more cash to buy another investment home or rent that one out and buy a New primary home.If you have any questions on the steps or the process feel free to reach out or send me an email. 

Glad to have you on the BP forum!
