I’m looking to invest in multi unit properties for long-term buy and hold and would need help financing.

There was a lot of information I didn't mention in this post since each company and individual can operate differently so if there was something I failed to mention, please feel free to leave a comment).The terms Hard Money Lender and Private Money Lender can be confusing because people sometimes use them to mean the same thing.

I know there are some restrictions on short term rentals (1 month min.) in the area but I believe even doing 1 month rentals at a minimum, the financials of the deal still work.

All they are doing is pre-paying the interest today, so that their "cash flow" can look better.
