Hey everyone! As I dive into real estate investing, I am currently seeking a silent cash partner to fund the purchase and rehab costs. I do all the leg work, you provide the funds. If you have money sitting in the ban...

I think the closest I have seen so far is this company New Western Acquisitions and a few other companies like it, and even then, their ARV numbers in general are hard to comp. 

hello, aleko. i am a home inspector from the western new york area. the old cloth, 2 wire wiring is kind of dangerous, in my opinion. as stated earlier, the cloth gets brittle and can crumble with the slightest of touch. with rehabbing the place, you are going to disturb it, for sure. then, you have exposed wiring. fire hazzard. not to mention, a lot of this old wiring is made of aluminum, not copper, therefore, the heat it will carry without fail is far lesser that the copper type wiring. if you have an overload somehow, and the breaker doesn't trip, you are going to have a fire. the gfi's have to be grounded, thats the whole idea of a gfi. the g stands for GROUND. with the two wire system you have, where is the ground????

Hi Tobe,Unfortunately no, my main area of focus is in the seacoast, so I am wholly unfamiliar with the situation in the western half of the state. 

I wanted to ask if anybody knows of a hard money lender that will lend to individuals for 2 rehab projects in the western part of Virginia.

I would say Buy it out right. live in it until your ready to move. if your near western university then you will be able to rent it out easily after you move out.
