Hi guys,
My family and I are on our second flip. The first one went well and was so much fun! Made a profit and learned a lot. That one took a while (7 months) because it was the first and also because I paid for everything using cards and my own cash. For the next one I'd like to use a loan that I would pay back in 3 months. Here are the details:
-Already purchased the home mortgage and close tomorrow. So I don't need hard money for the house. We are very confident with the numbers on this one.
-Estimated rehab cost is 55k, including holding costs, etc.
What do you think is my best option to get that 55k so I don't pay it out of pocket? I used lending club for like 6k on the first flip at the end to test them out. My credit and income are great, but they charged an origination fee which i thought was a little high. Also, they only loan up to 40k, which includes the fee.
Should I just go to a credit union and open an account/ask for a personal loan? I don't want to jump through hoops and provide reciepts, etc to use the money. We are DIYing most of it for profit and working full time on it.
@Diego Ortega, have you thought of going through a conventional lender to finance the entire deal? I can put you in contact with lenders that do exactly that, just let me know if you need any help.
