My own cash, local community banks, & hard money.

Things don't go up or down and dramatically as in other locals around the country.

Depends on your local rules and regulations, but in the state of Virginia such a practice is perfectly lawful.PS: Do not take model legal language and incorporate it into your contract unless such language comes from an attorney. 

I learned a ton during this process while being able to take some intentional steps to protect my client.I'm going to do my best to explain this without divulging specific details, as I don't believe in having anyone shamed and I do not intend to break my clients' right to confidentiality.The property in question was less than 1 year old, built by a local builder who held full ownership free and clear of any debts. 

Bring a local GC with you when you go so they can get a rough idea of a bid for renovation.

I have been a local home inspector for over 5 years(950 + Inspections) but getting ready to test my hand at Real Estate investing.

Additionally, over the years I have re-financed over 10 properties with local banks.
