Home equity loans are shorter term.

Even though some owner financing is available it will generally be more expensive and shorter term than a bank would offer.

If you are wanting a shorter term investment, you could  bring cash to Joint Venture/partnership.

The shorter loan term is killing your cash flow, BUT you will have the property paid off in 15 years.

We understand that most fix and flips are cash purchases or shorter financing such as hard/private lending, but are having trouble trying to understand if other investors ever use conventional loans to finance a fix and flip.It would be great for us if you guys and gals can shed some insight on if conventional loans are really ever used for fix and flips and if so what are the benefits and drawbacks vs. hard/private lending.Thanks for all the help!

Hence, the owner (A) had to pay a higher down payment, (B) had a shorter amortization period and (C) had a higher interest rate. 

I like the longer terms that I see with these programs vs the shorter terms that many folks post here on BP. 

It's harder to cash flow on shorter lengths of a loan.Your monthly rent is too lowAlso, if your ARV is at what you purchased it for plus what you put into the rehab then it was not a very good deal.  

Would you increase rent to compensate for shorter lease term?
