Hi BP! I'm a hard money lender in Utah and newbie investor. I'm on the lookout for investing tips and techniques for finding the right property for a flip or buy and hold.
If anyone has hard money questions, I'd be happy to help.

Mike Krog Welcome aboard! Finding deals is a challenge, but they're out there. Finding information on BP is a great place to start. There's also great local REIA groups to get involve in.
Good luck!

@Mike Krog welcome as a HML you probably have the basic tips worked out and don't need beginner training.. other wise you would not be lending :) you will find a lot of HML questions here and a lot of white noise were the newer investors could really use a does of reality when it comes to what it takes to get a HML...

@Jay Hinrichs, you are right. I understand a lot about the business from the hard money side and can recognize a good deal (or exposure position) when I see one. I guess where I lack is the know how to create the right balance when rehabbing a home for flip or rental. What features give the biggest return, like add a bathroom, add a bedroom, etc. without over building in niceties or bedrooms.

@Mike Krog I have been looking for HML to kind of pick their brain. Could you give us some insight as to what it takes to get a hard money loan? I am a newbie and have been on the lookout for some properties to flip but I would need a HML and I'm not really sure where to start. Thanks
