The only ways this would be possible, with lenders I work with are:1) Large construction projects, of +$10M.

For me, this was an opportunity to back a local project, build new relationships, and gain more experience working with flippers.

Is this the kind of project that’s fairly easy to finance?

I found that people referred me around quite a bit once I made intial contacts, and that everyone seemed to invest in each other's projects, or at least knew about them. 

I really like calling nearby renovated properties or networking with local investors to get some contacts and then just test them with small projects. 

While there are plenty of failed construction projects financed by lenders, what you propose adds additional risk.

It allows you to pull permits for interior and exterior renovations, alterations, and interior demolition.Registration Number: Required for large-scale projects such as new building construction, building enlargements, or full building demolitions.

Covering 100% of the capital allowed Jerry and Chad to focus on overseeing the project without financial strain.
