If those how leave do that because the traditional manufacturing jobs have left and those who move in do biotech, academics, military, etc., I would be happy to live with that and I suspect you would be too.

Has anyone ever used a hard money lender to purchase a primary residence through a cash sale and then refi'd the hard money lender out a few months down the road with traditional financing?

- Monthly P&I: TBD (not sure on this either)             - 5 year “balloon” buyer to refi to traditional mortgageMy (seller) motives for selling: no longer want to own, want to free up cash and avoid traditional closing costs.

@Gerald Boone Hello Gerald, it sounds like your property doesn’t seem to have enough cash flow when renting traditionally, have you thought about doing short term rentals?

I am able to provide a 20% down payment.I have the understanding that traditional mortgage lenders usually don't write loans for small value properties.

Trying to figure out whether Air BnB or traditional 6-month/12-month leases will produce better monthly cashflow.Very excited about this property as it's located near several Federal economic engines as well as being a 19-minute drive to both Amazon HQ2 in the Crystal City neighborhood of Arlington, VA and the accompanying Amazon Warehouse in Westphalia, MD.

How is the process different than your traditional rehabs?  

How do they not compete with each other, more so than traditional agents.I deal with the wholesale side too and it is diametrically opposite of the agent side.
