    @Jonathan Guerrero congratulations!

    I’ll start with a few questions.

    Did you pay cash for the house?

    How's your DTI?

    Are you planning to live there while you rehab (fix and flip).

    How much money do you think the rehab will cost?

    You’ve already conquered the greatest hurdle, you’ve purchased you 1st investment property...some people never make the leap!

    @Angie Shires Thank you for responding.

    1. I put 30% down on a personal loan with the owner (not a bank).

    2. I dont know what my DTI is exactly, but i have very little debt.

    3. No i dont plan to live there while rehabbing the property.

    4. I approximately need around

    20,000 to fix it

    I want to rent the property out after fixing it.

    I would personally start with a credit union or bank that I have a relationship with. Pull your credit before you talk to anyone to make sure there are no surprises.
