Thank you all. I have owned the house for about 4 weeks now and it is not my primary residence. I know I can get a hard money loan, but I was hoping to use the value of the property as collateral to secure a cheaper loan. 

I recently purchase a house with cash for $214K. ARV for the area is $380K. I am left with little cash to pay for the renovation cost. The house needs a lot of work to make it sell quickly and will need a loan for $100K. What types of lenders would be my best options?

Hello,

I have 18 years of commercial construction project management and development experience and looking to get into residential real estate investing to make a buck and supplement my retirement fund so I can enjoy being an old geezer. I don't have much capital to get started so I am very interested in networking with investors to help me get started.  The construction part is the easy part of the process for me.  I also hope to make some new friends that share my interest in soccer, hunting & fishing. I look forward to meeting you.
