I have been looking into getting hard money for a fix and flip. Has anyone had success recently getting a deal fully financed? If so, what were the numbers on the deal to make that happen? 

@Jaycee Greene Thanks for the welcome! I'm mostly interested in single-family homes and duplexes (so SFR and 2–4 MF). My plan is to start buy-and-hold investing around early 2026. I'd prefer something more turn-key for my first deal since I'm still learning the ropes. I'm looking to invest locally here in Florida, probably around the Jacksonville area, and I'll figure out my price range as I get closer to buying.

Thank you. The house is in pilsen in Chicago which is like 15 minutes from downtown. The quote i received was for a triplex. 

trying to determine if I should sell my other rental property and put the money in a 1031 exchange until I am ready to build or just pay down my original investment and just get a HELOC so I can keep both rental properties

Hey everyone, I'm a 34 year old Air Force Vet, earning 6 figures as a Business Consultant. I have 6 figures in cash reserves and I've been curious about RE. Moving from base to base, I've been forced into renovations of previous homes (cough "pipe burst flooding") and currently helping with my mom's renovations in my childhood home. I have a Contracting Officer background as well and so I'm looking for direction. I like the thought of flipping homes and providing a "home" for buyers looking to move into the local area. 

Hi everyone! My name is Kofi, and I’m based in Jacksonville, FL. I’m brand new to real estate investing and joined BiggerPockets to learn, network, and grow. I’m especially hoping to connect with local investors or find a mentor in the Jacksonville area.

I've never done creative but I'm looking to revive a deal that is stalled on price. The seller lives in the house and rents out ADU STR in a beach town. I would do the same. They paid 200k and want 1.4m and they are stuck on their number. I'm hesitant to go that high because I will be renting my current primary which limits my capital. I just wanted to brainstorm ideas that might help us come to an agreement. Things I have thought of:

- Seller finance part of it at a lower rate. Can this be done in conjunction with a traditional loan? If so, is that loan disclosed to traditional lender or just between you and seller?

- Let them continue operating the ADU for some period of time..they like the income it generates. Maybe do an 80-20 split where they get most of income?

-other ideas welcome!  

Thank you for any advice/ input!

I am a newbie with 1 rental property. I had squatters for a year but finally got them out and in the middle of remodel which will bring my home value to 300K. ($99k mortgage remaining) My question is should I sell my single family and put. The money to put towards turning my parents  house in a trendy neighborhood  into multifamily or just keep it and try to find better tenants which would net me around $1,000 a month profit? Im leaning towards keeping it but got burned a couple times with bad tenants.

it will take about a year to get the zoning to turn mt parents house into a building and my contractor quoted me $800k to build 3 unit from scratch. The comps for the 2 buildings next to my parents house are $3,300 a month for a 3 bedroom. They are actually the only house left on the block so hoping getting the zoning won't be too hard.

any advice would be appreciated. 

This is my first deal, are these numbers good enough to pursue? The seller is looking to get rid of quickly but pricing may be off a bit to get a better COC. The building is about 40 years younger than the average muti family in the area
