Hi guys,I'm in contact on a rehab deal and I'm contemplating if I should go with hard money or rather with an equity partner.

Good Morning...I am contemplating purchasing my first rental property (I have  lot of real estate experience as both a Broker, and an Investor...on the fix and flip side). 

@Ryan Cauzza   Many of the posters neglected to recognize you wanted to do a 1031 exchange. so that limits you.find a real good commercial broker close to you and go shopping.. are you in escrow or have you closed.. if your contemplating this start looking now.. and if your property will sell quickly you can then be ahead of the curve.I like MHP as well..

The bad news is that he is a wholesaler who seems to only work with one buyer, and he is outside the area that I had planned on farming.Since he was so open to working together, I'm contemplating expanding my area.

I have not done this yet but am contemplating it for the future to have private lender (or investor) experience in the toolkit (even if I do not need the capital).100% leverage can be a house of cards...you can turn off investor distributions but not debt payments.
