Have you leveraged lines of credit, private lenders, portfolio loans, or other creative financing options?

As a first time and out of state investor, my top priorities for this first investment were (1) a property that would be quick to rent (as I didn’t have other properties to offset extended vacancy rates), and (2) a very strong local PM team that RTR had extensive success with.

The Private Equity and Institutional investor is playing the ADU game - I’m working with them.

One huge benefit of a private/HML loan is the strength of making an offer when competing with cash buyers.

When I am looking for a new investment property and am strapped for cash, I typically look off-market and try and find something that can a seller is looking to sell that needs minimal repairs to be rent ready and the purchase price is 80% of the ARV this way I can use private money to buy in cash, do the repairs needed then refinance on a DSCR loan and pay off the private money loan. 

Have you considered becoming a private lender? 

My name is Naomi Pinger and I am a private money lender.

I used a private lender, BackFlip.

Since few lenders have the stomach to do this, it’s also been a great competitive advantage for our business.This horrifies almost every private lender I know.

You could structure a low down payment with interest-only payments for a set period, then refinance later.Master Lease with Option to Buy – Control the property now, generate cash flow by leasing it, then buy once it's stabilized.Sub-To or Wrap Mortgage – If there’s existing debt, you might be able to take over payments or structure a wraparound mortgage to benefit both parties.Hard Money or Private Lender for Reno Costs – If you secure a seller-financed deal, you can use private or hard money for the rehab without tying up your own capital.BRRRR Strategy with a Bridge Loan – If you can get the purchase price down, use a bridge loan for acquisition and rehab, then refinance with DSCR or conventional financing.Would love to hear more details to help structure something solid.
