Is there anyone else that is actively purchasing them?  

Here is an example of a recent project I was able to fund.Purchase Price- $35,000Rehab- $30,000Arv $100,000We funded $25,000 @ purchase and $30,000 for repairs for a total loan size of $55,000.If you're living in the midwest I think that there are great opportunities to purchase 2 to 4 unit properties and rent them out I would stay out of Illinois the tenant laws are not favorable to you as a landlord.

There are more construction loans available, then loans to purchase the land. 

Hi there, I'm considering starting my fix and flip business with a first property in Tampa.

Also you may know me for my educational events and mentoring programs and as I  have mentored some of the most successful apartment syndicators out there... 

I’m currently being put on my parents feed.Now, I want to get a loan to pay off their balance $45k, get a lower interest rate (and yes it would be lower, believe it or not theirs is 9% and has been for years) and pull money out for some debt at this point I only want to pull out $20k.Obviously, there is equity.What’s the best loan for this?

I thought there was a ban on operating STRs in some districts in Dallas

I told them there was nothing I could do and good luck. 

Are there any lenders offering HELOCs for small business owners who primarily use bank statements to qualify, especially those with write-offs?

We’ll get there, one deal at a time!
