Rehab Without Hard Hard Money

I had done several deals using a hard money. However, I have recently come across properties that I think are good deals but do not find the 65% APR Value rule that hard money lenders have.



If only a small amount of work is needed. Is there anyway to finance without using a hard money lender?

    Have you tried a HELOC on another property or your personal residence? How much do you need to borrow?

  • Yhagood2nd June, 2006

    I need to borrow about $115,000. The property is $100,000 and only needs $10K worth of worth. The APR Value is between $160,000 - $170,000

    Is it in Cook County?

  • Yhagood9th June, 2006

    Yes, the property is in Cook County

    Okay I will keep that in mind if I come across properties outside of Cook County. However, most of the properties that I buy are in Cook County. Cook County includes a very large number of cities and suburbs in Illinois.

    I can understand why someone would not want to put money into real estate in Detroit. A city that formerly had 2 million people and now has 900,000- there are a few more houses there than anyone needs...

    I recently completed my first rehab out using any hard money. I used a Home depot card (no payments or interest for 12 months) , a lowes card (same deal as Home depot) and I made a deal to go with a window company instead of Home Depot where that company installed all my windows also at no payments for 12 months AND at only 4% interest (beats the high credit card interest of 21% for both Home depot and Lowes!). total rehab costs: $10K. Out of pocket ($0).

    My rehab is no in escrow to sell and pay off the rehab costs before the 12 months are up.

    home depot and lowes are great for flippers
    i got a 4k credit limit at lowes the first day i applied
    2 weeks later i spent 900 on cabinets and paid it off
    the second month two months went by with out any
    charges and i got an unsolicited credit increase to 10k.
    now i have no worries about actual rehab money. as i can buy whatever i need either at lowes or home depot.



    try getting a financial partner for the puchase rather than a lender.

    Hey Centralstates,

    Will your lender do the state of Texas at 85%?
