@Chris Seveney the loan would be for fix and flips! They seem to be one of the largest lenders for beginners.
@Jaycee Greene Yes I am! I'm hoping to get into rentals later down the road but would like to start with fix and flips. I've been under a mentor for about a year now and ready to spread my wings a little bit. From the research I've done, Kiavi seems to be one of the better ones for beginners. Especially because they'll do 90% cost and 100% rehab. With a 75% LTV.
Hello! I'm looking into doing my first deal and was wondering if anyone else has used kiavi for a hard money loan? They seem to be pretty popular and well known. I spoke with one of their representatives and they seem to have very good terms. Any advise would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

@Kyle Deutschmann Thank you for the advise! I look forward to possibly dealing with you when I get a some experience under my belt!
Quote from @Jaron Walling:
@Joshua Nichols I'd take @Travis Timmons advise to heart and think about the challenges associated with flipping RE. You're reading a 10 chapter book and tryin to skip the first 4. It's not as easy as the social media gurus preach.
If you don't own a primary residence I'd start there.
Don't pile on risk at 21 y/o. I'd level up with a BRRRR, live-in flip, or house-hack before jumping into a challenging renovation. Those are opportunities for experienced investor but you're not experienced. Creative financing to buy deals is another dangerous approach. Avoid it until you get the investor ball rolling.
I have purchased my first home already! I have a mentor i've been shadowing for about a year now as well. I have found my market and have created my team thus far.

Hello! I'm new to the real estate game. I'm very interested in flipping properties. I have found a good market and have built a good team thus far and I'm ready for my first flip. My question is about the funding for the project. I have enough liquid money for the down payment for the hard money lender, but that'll leave me with zero cash for closing costs, realtor fees, etc. I can pay utilities, insurance, and other holding fees but I won't have enough to pay other cost like listed above. The question I have is, if I get a hard money loan, can I get enough to cover the closing costs and realtor fees and other associated fees?
