I'm pretty ignorant as far as hard money lending. Someone was saying irr $40k is maybe minimum to try to get hard money (not loaning). I would maybe start a new thread.
pick a bank any bank call bank ask for money
1. call bank apply for a loan
2. call bank apply for a loan
3. call bank apply for a loan

im not sure what acronym soi is. sphere of influence? but selling/doing business with people I know has not worked best for me. But I'm pretty small time.
Id rather work with people that are wanting to buy vs trying to sell to someone i know.
iv nnever thought it a good idea to date someone i work with. then gotta see them at work.
i have different personas. when i go to work. when I'm with my gf. when I'm interacting with tenants. etc etc
if tthey are really really interested I'd do business with them. otherwise no. I think your radar is tracking right.

I would like to purchase and move into a triplex property using an FHA loan. I currently own 3 duplexes, 2 conventionally financed and one FHA financed. I have paid down the fha duplex owning 10%. Can I refinance that into a conventional loan without paying anything other than closing costs? I do not live there, so would I have to put down another 10% to do so?
ask a bartender or call a banker ha! banking rules changing faster than the weather these days!

I've got a roommate with asbestos issues.(really good roommate) Hopefully lives long time.
He said he told his daughter to not claim his body.
I told him that we're gonna see what the trash guys do when they see his legs sticking out of trash can!
Anyone dealt with this or advice?
