The law reads, as I understand it, that it is not about the lease but the amount of time the tenant resides in the property.

Thanks for the shoutout @Russell Brazil@Veronica Mitchell Happy to connect and see if can be of help. 3 weeks is plenty of time for me.

I live in Stephenville, I’m a full time investor here.

What would be nice is also to have someone on more often who has been around a longer period of time (ala pre-2008) as most people in real estate only know the good times and what we have ahead of us is not the good times.

Part of the reason I still work my W2 part time is so I'm not reliant on the commission which allows me to advocate the better deal and not try to bump my numbers 1k or 2k here at the expense of my client on the scale of tens of thousands.

Although from lenders perspective if you have done handful of successful rehabs, you should already have a pretty good understanding of the process, and can have an easier time to obtain a construction loan.Also Development (building multiple houses at the same time) will require additional skillset vs one house at a time.   

Buying the right property type, location and price are half of the equation.

My question is does anyone know of lenders that will lend to first time ground up investors where they will be willing to use my 5 flips in 2 years experience to lend to my LLC/me. 

My brother has lived in the home as his personal residence since, but we are now in the process of renting it out full-time using a property manager. 

We were able to work with the sellers since they were going through tough times and wanted to get out of the house quickly.
