The strategy
How to prepare for your first investor loan
Start by defining the strategy: buy and hold, renovate and sell, build, or refinance. Then organize the purchase price, current and future value, rehab budget, rent or resale assumptions, timeline, and cash reserves.
Experience is one factor—not the only factor. Select programs may be available to qualifying emerging investors.
