...for a $45 additional fee no doubt :)

Thanks for your help, happy to answer any additional questions.

(The second story is another commercial space but is unoccupied.)I have been approached by the mortgagee (a private lender) to suggest a deal that would enable me to acquire the building.

Or can additional names be included on the deed (joint tenancy) without negatively affecting the banks loan decision?

She proceeds to ask me if there would be a way for me to assist her in acquiring an REO home.

All additions are still in "roughed in" state, i.e studs, electrical runs, and plumbing runs, but no outlets or valves.  

Took me about a year to acquire my first deal.

I noticed several additional people beside herself, 2 kids, mother and sister have moved in.

Jay- are you suggesting purchasing the primary I am trying to acquire as tenants in common or the duplex?  

I am reaching out because I am looking for further knowledge on borrowing money from private and hard money lenders so I am hoping someone can answer my questions.When it comes to private money or hard money for an apartment or commercial building, multi family or even single family, what is the process you take in acquiring the money to close a deal?
