Now the values have dropped so much that in order for a short sale to work the bank has to take a massive hair cut.We have changed the focus of our business to lease options and that is starting to work rather well.

However being a student I know it will be really tough for me to obtain any money for future projects.

I've recently had 12-15 contractors to my home to give bids on a few projects.

Or would it be a seasoned investor with rentals and a lot of equity who would be more apt to take on this type of project.

All of this after I spent about $70,000 in massive improvements.

This assumes you can find and then sell on those deals.You said you have a fair bit of experience with both wholesaling and with refurbishment projects.

I am looking for a hard money loan for 2.7 Million for a project we are working on in AZ.

How far would you travel if an investor has a project rather than cash they put up?

The out-of-state property management does have it's challenges especially when there are build-out projects happening, but it can be done.I have worked with a lot of what I call "serial entrepreneurs", who don't always just stick to one type of business venture.

I am thinking about investing with them in their new project in Rocklin, CA.Any help you provide will be greatly appreciated.ThanksRakesh
