BRRRR with private or hard money lender

[Kenny Durrant]

I am getting started with real estate investing and am working on finding my first property. My main challenge is financing a deal. I am interested in the BRRRR strategy, because unfortunately I don't have much money on my own at the moment to begin investing. There are a few things I don't quite understand about the BRRRR strategy. What are the typical metrics used when organizing a deal with a lender? What percentage return do they typically look for when lending money for this type of deal? How quickly do the lenders typically want to see their agreed upon return? I would really appreciate any feedback on my specific questions, and any other advice about the BRRRR strategy.

Thank you

Find private money (friends, family, etc). HM is too expensive to hold long.

I think they meant HML for the purchase/rehab then refinance out to a long term loan product.
