Quote from @Albert Aitov: Hello everyone,I'm looking to start investing in real estate in DFW metroplex, but I'm having a hard time finding lenders that can finance my purchase price + renovation costs, I called to about 15 different banks (and all of them have different issues).Initially I was trying to find a lender that can finance 100% of the deal if it falls within 70% of projected ARV (I follow a few real estate investors that suggest to find such lenders, it is usually small local banks), but I couldn't find any lender like that in DFW.
