The main strategy I am studying is the BRRRR and how we can apply it to the spanish market and laws so the investments can be replicable again and again without leaving big sums of money in the deals.Nice to meet you and hope we can help out each other and other Spanish members.Barry 

You certainly 'can' work directly with the builder, but you will NOT save any money by doing so.

SAVE SOME MONEY. 

I actually don't like middleman banks almost as much as I don't like middleman property managers. lolIn this day in age, I should be able to have access to my money whenever I want, without jumping through hoops: two-factor authentication, giving my SSN, DOB, address, verifying over the phone, etc.

If this is a commercial/hard money lender, this does not exist.

While I was doing that I saved a chunk of money.

Two years ago, it was higher and sellers wanted money hard day 1 in a lot of markets.I would ask brokers and property management companies and attorneys in the marketGood Luck!

@Allen Wu- .25% rate difference wouldnt be  ample for mw to choose to use a 10 yr arm  versus a 30 yr fixed ....especially  if the proeprty will be a long term hold .....once rates  drop you can  always  look at rtefinnancing options ....make sure to  review all the rate / fee options ....the  more you are willing to pay in loan fee ( points) the  lower the rate you can get will be 

If there happens to be such a law demand the money be placed in a high yield bank account where you get 100% of the interest.

You only really have a couple of options.HELOC/LOC with the property as security.Refinance the first and walk away with a bigger first.A great way to get into properties with little money down though is to buy distressed assets at a discount, force appreciate them, and refinance to pull the cash out.
