My personal credit score is over 720 and I'm trying to find hard money lenders that can fund the buying and the rehab work of some properties.

Gary Clisele Also if your buying a note for $5k the quality of the asset will be very poor and is most likely a property in a D area that needs extensive repairs -If you end up taking the property back it will probably be a loser since the rehab will be higher than the property is worth

Fortunately most of the work for this project is finally completed, and the hurdles we faced were a direct result of poor project management skills.

Can you imagine not paying your credit card and they never call you?

The other methods being personal loans and credit cards.

Kyle - if you want to determine if  conventional financing is  possible for you at this time ...I would recommend connecting with a loan person to get a formal  pre approval  in place  for any scenario you  care to work with  ...this  process is free and  help analyze credit / asset/ income / employment  and   if  you aren't able to  get pre approved at this time - you can  then be aware of any  facet you  will need to  work on ….thanks

., minor or major, you can decide whether that is worth the trouble.I would request the rental application from the tenant, the lease, and the credit report, which are standard requirements.Those info would also allow me to check out how they manage the rental tenant screening process and what kind of tenant is in the house.

Of course, you may not have to, but expect your interest to be a bit higher regardless of credit.
