Hello BP,I’m in need of a local commercial real estate closer within the Spring TX and Houston TX region.Need to close a deal urgently as quick as possible.Any recommendations will be appreciated.

If it's an SFR you could technically get a HomeStyle reno loan on it, but that would be a lot of closing costs and other nonsense just for an extra $5k.I'd suggest credit cards or other unsecured borrowed funds -- get it done quick and sell it quick to pay it off. 2nd best might be some sort of equity deal with another investor who has $5k to invest. 

And I presume it will get to 5 pretty quick unless you have great credit depending on area. 

I have a principle of 9K left on my car which I plan on using the extra savings to quickly pay it off so I can have an extra 350 to save and invest.

Quick background I co-own/manage 192 multi family units. 

LA is gentrifying quickly and people are getting pushed out further twoards palmdale, lancaster, san bernardino, or out of state.  

I work construction gigs as a carpenter and rehabbed my entire house down to the bare bones so I know all about that.I just bought "Housebuilding" A Do-It-Yourself Guide by R.J.

Quick introduction.
