How do I determine who holds the property and if I could offer cash before it goes to auction or MLS.

I have a duplex that am trying to follow BRRRR strategy but running into this lending rule hurdle for a conventional refi for the long term hold.

Does anyone know of anyone who buys properties already under contract by a wholesaler in Bakersfield to flip, hold, etc? 

Hello BP community,As a former Contractor turned investor/stay at home dad, I am in the middle of my first property deal with two Contractor/Developers in my previous home of Teton Valley, ID. Now that our development...

Nevertheless, if I plan to hold for at least 10 years, general consensus is to hold it. 

To me it almost seems kinda like a wholesale deal but even if I end up holding the property for longer than I want it's no skin of my back because the property will be cash flowing.

Maybe that property will go to foreclosure and be available in a year or so when I'm more seasoned ;) I had somewhat of an "Ah ha" moment after realizing that I can possibly pursue two paths that are not mutually exclusive for the use of the capital I want to invest:   conventional loans for buy and hold investing, and at the same time utilize hard money lending to rehab distressed properties. 

My focus is to buy and hold student rentals and/or multifamily properties.

In my current role at my 9-5 job, I can't hold an active license but this will be good info for me to keep in the back of my mind for down the road.

Two of my properties hold approx. $75k each ($148k total) in equity.
