Some require monthly payouts, some just want the money to grow and they'll take it out when the project sells.Your investor is going to want you to have "skin in the game."

When toilets sit dry, the rubber fixtures dry out and will leak when you turn them on again. 

They don't look so much to credit or income but to the skin in the game, your equity.

The house has French drains, so with heavy rains, there are areas that sweat, but in the 2.5 years we lived there NEVER standing water.Through all of this, there have been multiple texts, emails, and phone calls complaining about everything, despite the fact that they've done NOTHING to mitigate damage, such as putting down fans to dry the hardwood floors / ceilings.

Even better, work with someone (if you decide to work with someone here in the US) who will put some skin in the game.

Depending on the condition of the frame it can be a pretty easy thing or almost impossible if there is lots of dry rot or termite damage. 

But at the end of the day, I agree with Ewa in that they will look at the deal and how much skin you have in the game.

In spite the tenant left and turned on the water full blast until the well went dry and the septic was overflowing into the yard, then called the municipal authorities to report to report a unhealthy sewage spill.

Very few hard money guys will loan you anything unless you have some skin in the game. 

The idea is we form an llc with the 2 people who have approached us about investing and pool those 5-10 properties in an llc with us putting in small sliver so we do have at least some skin in the game but getting a much larger share of the pie for doing the work.
