@Anna Washburn i prefer hard money. i think there is more scalability. of course, if you had a crazy high HELOC with millions of dollars available at a low rate, maybe it is a different story. short of that, hard money is quick and easy and the reimbursement on the rehab is great. if you can find a reliable lender that is half the battle. one of the great things we do is if you can get a property where the purchase and rehab is under 70% of the ARV, then we can finance it 100%. hard to beat that!
