I am an Investor/Broker that actively buys and sells properties and also lend nationwide.

What will work will depend on the deal, your personal financial situation and the market for lending at the time you need the loan.

The State of Texas is getting more aggressive about unlicensed lending over the last two years.

FYI, I don't know who you network with, but if you are looking to make a profit, you have a better chance being a bank and lending the money out as a hard money or private.With that ask and rent, there is no deal on the table, regardless of what appreciation could be one day.

Because of these hurdles, conventional lending isn't an option.

If your lender is lending you money for the repairs, usually you get the money in 2 or 3 draws, after an agreed percentage work is completed, and they may have someone inspect to verify.

If credit worthy they will provide same services as a big institution but with rates and attention that is unmatched.
