Deborah Wodell Is 100% Hard Money Financing Realistic for New Investors?
25 September 2025 | 21 replies
Quote from @Cam Schwartz: Quote from @Deborah Wodell: I’ve had quite a few new investors come in lately asking about 100% financing through hard money — meaning no money down, with both the purchase and rehab fully covered by the lender.From what I’ve seen, that’s pretty rare unless there’s some creative structuring involved.I know it can sometimes be done through JV partnerships, seller financing in second position, or gap funding — but even then, it’s usually based on the deal’s strength, experience, and having the right connections.For those of you who’ve been in the game a while — have you seen a true 100% financing deal happen for a new investor?

@Jd MartinMatt this is a typical cash partner credit partner middle man deal.Christine in all liklyhood has a unsecured note from Wendal  that ties to this property not a vested interest in the property just a note.. there is no security instrumentthe credit partner is the owner of the propery solely.. with a deal with Wendal as well.Wendal is middle man and the promoter making a fee for putting the parties together.what Christine needs to do is pull tax records and find out who the owner is .. present them with her Note and just cut Wendal out of this deal and if they are only in it 170ish  and its worth 200k it should just about break even or a little lossChristine  your experience with lease to own is common.. even though promoters like to talk about how there are no repairs the lessor will pay.. lessors are Lessors are lessors they still look at it many times like they are renting.. and just expect owner to pay.. so the owner ends up paying rather than evicting.. its no easy chore to evict in that area.I suspect there are others in the same situation as these two ladies.. when someone with high profile like this guy gets going and is running boot camps etc you can expect many others who have invested with him.. would be nice if anyone has had a good experience could chime in..
