Traditional methods offer me a pretty decent amount of financing to work with, but I’m wondering if less-traditional methods would allow me to do the same with less money down.

Would you recommend traditional financing or hard money?

My thought was to put 20% down on a property between $250k-$300k through traditional lending.

I have seen a few specializing specifically in traditional B&B inns.  

We used traditional bank financing and are after a few changes, we will be able to partially refinance out of it.How did you add value to the deal?

If you think about it, your traditional home buyer that wants to buy a house doesn't have a website and is not working on their credibility.. right?

My general plan is 200k or so for a house that doesn’t need major work, put down 10% with traditional financing and live there for a little while, and have 10k left for minor repairs and cash reserves, with the intention of renting the house out at some point in the near future.

We have beautiful laminate floors, new carpets, fresh paint, newly painted cabinets, french patio doors, granite counter tops, spacious closets with organizers, light fixtures throughout including for dressing area, fans, fireplace, new vanity, pedestal sink.

I would like to sell my rental properties on roofstock instead of via a traditional realtor since they are tenant occupied.
