Hi Derek,
As you mentioned, it wouldn't make much sense for your to be the guarantor if you are not getting any rewards (unless it's for a favor). There are some lenders that can allow these hard money without experience or without having you as the guarantor (but requires you to be in the deal).

Hi Mark,
Sounds about right for a 5 unit. How much down payment is that for? There are 30 year fixed programs out there as well as DSCR based options. Happy to take a look

Hi Braeden,
What kind of purchase price are you looking at? I've noticed in some cities crime rates vary significantly by pockets/neighborhood, so it's best to do proper research on top of talking other people. Some cities have government websites and you can use softwares like Vestmap to check neighborhood analysis.

Hi Ryan,
Getting 100% of the cash out of the BRRRR is pretty difficult in this market but it's still possible. Some BRRRR markets I see in those price ranges are Columbus, Birmingham, Jacksonville, Tyler, St Louis. Whether you prefer a market close to 80k or 170k sounds like a matter of a preference between cash flow and appreciation/equity.

Hi Steve,
You could put a second position loan on it - like a HELOAN but this will be based off of income/tax returns. A lot of people are similar position - if you have a reason to use the cash, it may make sense to just cash out refinance.

Hi Raj,
As you mentioned, the math is very difficult to pencil out in this market. A lot of buyers are having to put more down or negotiate harder to get those deals. Another benefit of the DSCR is that it allows LLC vesting. As of now rates can actually be in the higher 7's as well depending on the deal (FICO, property type, location, loan amount).

Hi Steven,
As you mentioned, hard money lenders have rehab draw systems so make sure to use a lender that can do these smooth and without problem! Check reviews as a caution.
