They will want to see all your funds.

Do you have funds that are easily accessible in case you stumble on an offer that you can't turn down?

Hi, I have a house under escrow in Tennessee, planning to pull a hard money loan to close the deal and fund remodeling.

As long as LTV is 70-75% and I fit other common loan criteria, I should be able to refi with minimal complication.

If you have the funds to finish the rehab, keep the 1st happy until you can sell, that’s probably your best option.

The majority's opinion is that leverage is what allows you to grow your portfolio and equity, so get as much debt as possible, but of course watch the terms and cash flow.Once you choose your religion, assuming you choose leverage, you're looking for the funding.

If you don't have a solid W-2 job right now, maybe this is the time to get one - I'm not sure if being an agent would get you the funds you need to make some real estate deals.I would not just dump everything right into real estate - it's just too risky of a plan because if something goes wrong, you're not going to have the funds to get back into a good position.

I personally look for returns in the 20% or higher range, when utilizing my own funds.

I then received calls saying that TD would't process the transfer due to funds not available, which I thought was strange. 

Research and define your geographic marketplace, your marketing plan and budget for generating leads, your sources of capital for both operating expenses and funding deals.
