I'm having trouble with trying to find hard money lenders to lend to me because of the amounts of my purchase. The amounts of the purchase price of the properties that I'm pursuing are only $20,000 with a $15,000 rehab as well as a $14,000 and I keep getting denied because they only lend between $70-100k . I live in a landlord market and the properties are very very cheap here so cheap i want to get out of wholesaling an purchase. i have one under contract for $5k are there any lenders that will lend to me on the low end. im willing to go over and beyond and put my blood sweat in tears in my business just looking for some guidance

i have some properties under contract that i intended on wholesaling but at this point there listed and i actually want to purchase do i need good  credit or can i purchase under my business name. any help would be appreciated

i have a deal in steubenville ohio not sure if the numbers are right also i have been having luck with wholesaling through realtors but it seems that i am bound by their listing price. i have a house under contract for 20k but its listed at 24,900 it has a tenant in it paying $650 a month month to month so I had a buyer wanting to pay $36k for it because the repairs are mininum  and its a great deal but when they seen it listed he told me to crunch my numbers better. I thought that since i was under contract that noone could get it from under me but i guess thats wrong. its a deal but the spread is smaller i still plan to wholesaling but i was thinking about purchasing it as well for the cashflow but i dont know how to get a loan for it. Any advice

@Jamaar Brown Hi Jamaar, feel free to send me a message through BP and I can send you something. It should have the outline and the elements you'd need. It won't let me post link here.


 can i have that information as well

Quote from @Alicia Marks:

Welcome to our question of the week! We are talking about goal setting, because that can apply to any point in your journey as an investor. At BiggerPockets, you may have heard the mention of a BHAG (big, hairy, audacious goal) as something that seems almost unattainable, but still very possible. It has a deadline and objective that is measurable. Some people choose to measure it around a number of units, cashflow, networth, or some other factor. The important point is that it is something that you value as a goal to keep you on track. 

What is you BHAG? Have you made a BHAG in the past? How did you do? What factors helped you decide on your goal?

I want to encourage everyone to connect with other investors that have a similar goal or may be in a similar point in their investor journey. Having someone or several someones to help you be accountable for your goals can be a very important step to getting those goals accomplished.

Let's get talking!


 yes i have a BHAG mine is i started and i am currently wholesaling things are starting to go well. I have been wholesaling land as well as single family homes. my goal is to become the cash buyer to have properties for cash flow as well as be a fix and flipper. There is a need for sober living houses and i live in a landlord market but there are so many abandoned houses here and im a recovering addict with a substantial amount of clean time. Here in my town there are alot of abandoned properties for cheap so i plan to buy them and open up houses for these individuals who are excited to hit a milestone of a year or more and graduate there treatment programs but they have no where to rent so, im applying for grants an learning about what i need to do to purchase these properties and to fix them up. so essentially i would say that the big goals would be to be the cash buyer but also give back as well

Quote from @Antonio Coa:

Hi all!

I'm looking for some help and/or mentor as I've been grateful to save $500,000 but I'm not sure where to best invest these savings in. Ideally, I would like to generate a 10% to 20% return on investment as I'm still in my 30's and I have the energy to continue working and build a successful business with a mix in accounting and real estate. 


Please feel free to share ideas and would love to connect via zoom to hear more about business ideas. 


 congratulations this just encouraged me, im still in the wholesale part of my business and im trying to get to where you are so i just wanted to say congratulations

 I will buy the deal for $5,000 in Columbus, Ohio


 Its in Portsmouth Ohio an it's not the deal it's the purchase price an I want to buy it an fix it up 

Quote from @Ashley Cross:

Do you mean your wholesale fee was $5,000? If you'd like to work with a hard money lender to fund your deal your credit is fine. You'd just need to show you have experience and the capital. Private money lenders are just people in your network. To begin you'd probably be better off to find a partner. That'll be easy if you have a great deal and a network to tap into. 


 No the property is for sale for 5k I want buy it an put money into it an sell it or use for cash flow
