I have been on this platform for a few years and have made some great connections.

Not your traditional duplex but it worked out that way. 

@Abdul AzeezTwo choices.You can buy cash, rehab then refi into a traditional loan.Or you can buy a property that's in good condition using a traditional loan.

Traditional split renovations Hello it's the Lazy Landlord And I am here in Decatur Ga with a new project.

That being said, I'm committed to doing so, even if more traditional finance options are not open to me.

Young people who are traditionally the most active homebuyers are delaying marriage, kids and mortgages .

If you plan on moving any amount of money, (with limits of up to 49,999 currently) you should be not being using traditional banks to accomplish this.

@Brandon StewartThink about it re sandwich:You need to get financing to buy from seller, then have TBer buy from you.Transactional funding is not easy to get to get on title, and traditional bank financing is not easy.So I like to have 1 transaction, from seller to Tber, with a note being my profit from the sandwich, paid to me at closing - settlement. 

Maybe you should reconsider those loan offers as a stepping stone to more traditional financing on subsequent deals. 

I plan to self manage using the buildium platform to automate a lot and screen tenants.
