rust belt mid west you can find deals for those amounts.. going to be rougher areas of course.

do NOT follow the advice of anyone suggesting second postions or gap funding. U dont have enough capital for those risks

Thank you for the advice. But what is wrong with a second position lien? What if the combined first and second liens are < 65% LTV? What is the risk there?

LOL..  Chris spelled it out.. but I will do it again.  borrower has an issue and cant pay on the first. The first goes to foreclosure you will need to cash out the first before it goes to sale other wise you will get wiped out.. Now you can let it go to sale and hope it bids higher than the first you would get any overage but dont count on it.. more than likely you would love your entire investment.. this is a very frequent event.. I have been doing these type of loans for 30 plus years and buying foreclosures since the late 70s.. seen it time and again  ..
So thats the risk

I was genuinely curious. I was not trying to argue. After doing some research I realized that the first lien lender has so much control over the purchase price. I assumed that foreclosure house sales are usually sold near ARV or maybe at a slight discount. I didn't know that, but now I understand the risk better.

Hello all!

I am currently reading books and educating myself about private lending. I am interested in jumping in, but I am not sure if I have enough money. I have $110k ready to invest in Florida. I would like to fund a fix and flip deal with a first lien position in Florida. 

Is this reasonable or do I need more money? I know that I should try to stay at 60% - 70% LTV. But is this possible with my current capital? Is this LTV based on ARV or the purchase price?

If I don't have enough for a first position lean, is it even worth it getting second positon liens?

Thank you!
