❓ Can I get 100% funding? ▶️ Yes!! It’s possible if the purchase price+rehab is less than 70% ARV ​ ❓ Does this cover horizontal development or just vertical construction? ▶️ Horizontal development MAY be covered, it’s a possibility ​ ❓ Can I build tiny homes? ▶️ No. Most lenders don’t fund tiny or container homes. ​ ❓ Can I build 4-10 home communities? ▶️ Yes, definitely a possibility if you have ample experience. ​ ❓ How does the draw process work? ▶️ You request draws (reimbursements) for the rehab done whenever you would like. ​ ❓ Do I have to own the land before getting a construction loan? ▶️ Not at all.

Investors who are new to the world of real estate investing IMMEDIATELY look for passive income. ​ They join real estate communities that teach Creative Finance or the BRRRR strategy- ​ And that’s their mistake. ​ Most new investors spent their last dime to get into these mentorships. ​ There is no money left to ACTUALLY invest in a property. ​ Then people quit their dream of real estate investing altogether. ​ If you want to make money in real estate you focus on the active income first. ​ When I stopped chasing my first subject to deal and started loan brokering I hit my first $10K month. ​ If you made an additional $10,000 a month or even $3,000 how much more likely is it to strive for the passive income, for the portfolio to start building? ​ Let me know in the comments if I’m just a pessimist or if new investors should spend all their money on buying assets before making money.

Residential and commercial properties can qualify. ​ ❓ Do I need a 1.2 DSCR to get this loan? ▶️ NOPE! Most lenders will approve a 1.0 DSCR (some, even lower, but don’t buy a property that’s negatively cashflowing) ​ ❓ What states do you not lend in? ▶️ North and South Dakota 😔 ​ ❓ Can I get a DSCR to buy and renovate a property? ▶️ No, DSCR loans do not give you funds to rehab a property. Use a Hard Money Loan. ​ What questions do you still have?

After 5 years in real estate investing communities and 500+ connections, this is what I think of those mandated ‘50 friends.’ ​ My first year I made the mistake every investor makes. ​ I get on calls with ANYONE, take no notes, and the worst strategy- To see what I could get out of that conversation. ​ Not only did I forget what we spoke about but I came into these talks with a selfish mindset. ​ I talked about ‘bringing value to others’ but didn’t actually want to listen to them. ​ But this is what changed. ​ And what unlocked 60+ deals closed. ​ ​ I followed up. ​ And looked at their social media to SEE rather than ASK how I could actually bring value to them. ​ I saw flippers and connected them with interior designers. ​ I saw deals closing and connected them with Transaction Coordinators. ​ Yes, I mentioned I wanted to lend and fund their deals but getting them the right connection at the right time was the goal. ​ And when you do good to others they want to reciprocate. ​ ​ ​ They didn’t need funding but they REFERRED others that did. ​ I switched to helping without a need for a reward and that made all the difference in my interactions. ​ ​ Rather than making another Facebook post or podcast episode follow up with 5 old contacts from your first year. ​ Check their socials and send custom messages based on what they’re posting about. ​ HUNT for a true solution to their bottleneck. ​ Outcare anyone else in their network.

Real estate investors have MORE opportunities when there are fewer first time homebuyers. Let me explain. We’re hearing about the ‘affordability crisis’ everywhere we go. And because of that crisis, first time owners are at a record low of 21% of all home purchases. Most people are opting to rent as they’re unable to afford to down payments, closing costs, and the commissions that come with a purchase. HERE is where the opportunity lies. There *is* a way to reignite first time buyers by bringing back the affordability into real estate. I’m talking about buying land, put a NEW manufactured home on it, and then selling it. A.K.A Land Home Packages Investors doing this are getting 1 acre lots for $30K, placing a prebuilt $90K home, and selling for over $200K all within 3 months. That can be a check for at least $30K doing less work than a flip at half the time. Pretty decent profit for an investor and a HECK of a deal for someone who never thought they would own a home in their lifetime BONUS- for the buyers, these homes are coming with some acreage if the home owners decide they want a more traditional home they have the opportunity to save up and build on their own land. While flippers and builders focused more on luxury homes they’re missed profitability and *necessity* of the Land Home Package strategy. Does this make you rethink your current strategy?
