The list does not "go hard" until the end of day 45 and you don't have to close during that first 45 days.

I'm currently building a  buyers/ hard money lenders list for the  Mississippi area. 

I've recently researched hard money lenders in Pennsylvania and now I'm looking at portfolio lenders in the Lehigh Valley.

We are holding $30,000 in escrow against any damages and have a hard 30 days deadline for him.Our exit strategy would be to put new appliances and clean up and put it right back on the market for $235-$240k.The seller found out about us through referral from another seller we had marketed to.You never know where your deal would come from. 

@Jason DiClemente where can I find hard money lenders in New York ??

The hard part is asking someone for their money.

@Jessica Jay-Maleskiundefined I learned this the hard way as well, some of my experience.  

I think without seasoning the money in your account as mentioned, you're going to have a hard time finding a conventional loan.  

I've spent a lot of time over the last few months in Greenville NC where hotels were a little hard to find right after the storm, but not difficult now.

Sell it and with the amount of hours I put in, the 25kish income would hardly make me feel good. the rental market here is BOOMING. so I could get top dollar as a rental.
