Homeowner's fixing up a historical property for themselves to live in "renovate".

They will look to work with small operating companies to get sba loans, but they will want to see two years of income : tax returnsSo if the company is a general contractor then its income / expenses could get it some sba loan but if you are fixing and flipping and are looking to get a mortgage they will look at you not the LLC

Focusing on building a good team with local experts, invest in a single-family home to get my foot in the door, and then using the remaining amount to start the BRRRR strategy and eventually expand my portfolio.
