@Jahleel Vester, Congrats on graduating and jumping into REI! In regards to your plans for getting your first property, Plan A will proof to be very difficult I believe... What you're describing is more so a 'gap funder' which are harder to really come by and at that, they most typically only lend on Non-owneroccupied properties. Since you'll be house hacking it, most won't like that aspect.

THAT SAID! There are major pros to house hacking a property. Since it's a 4-plex, you can still get a residential loan. If this is your first time home purchase, you can come with less down (if you qualify for conventional, as a low as 3%. If you have to go FHA route, it'll be 3.5%. In both scenarios you'll be able to utilize a seller credit towards closing costs up, and a family member (if willing) is also able to grant you a "gift" for the down payment. Between those two things, you may be able to get 100% financing, or very close to. Obviously it all depends on how much you can be granted in both areas.

Just my $0.02! Hope that helps. Seller Financing is of course, another excellent route to go - just sometimes a little more difficult to find in this market that's selling like hot cakes.

Cheers,

Marty J

Have a great 4th of July week!

Hi everyone,

I just joined BP and excited to get things going for my business. I've been operating for a few months now and getting better at making offers. However, I am in need of financing my deals and I am alone in this journey. I already have buyers waiting for me to fulfill their dream home but I don't know how to go about closing the deal without money. I operate in NJ and CT and soon PA. I would like to work with a private lender or lender in general that can help me, and educate me on how to get financing and do a deal right. Thanks in advance.

 
Congrats on joining BP and getting started! I would love to connect with you and see what we can offer on your deals. We do loans with first time rehabbers often which most people feel is the issue, but really it's more so the numbers in the deal - they have to make sense to the lender, AND to you. We're a national Mortgage Brokerage out of PA and do loans in all 50 states nationwide. Give me a call at 920-285-8900 or shoot me an e-mail at [email protected] and I can happily walk you through the process!

Good luck!
