Advice...PLEASE HELP!!

[dr1keyz]

Hello. There is a 60 unit apartment building (with 1 retail space available) here, in Pittsburgh, for about $100,000 but is in need of renovation. Now, without the renovation, it is worth $258,000 but with  about $100,000 in renovation, it will be worth close to $500,000. I would like to start this deal but I have no clue where I can obtain funding from. My credit is bad due to credit fruad (which I am trying hard to repair) and my immediate funding is limited. A lot of hard money lenders want credit scores and certain downpayments but really, I only have enough for cash for the deposit and possible closing cost.  Any advice on what to do?? I would be a fool to let this offer pass, but when there's no 'dough', it has to 'go' . ??? ??? ???

If you can get it under contract you may just want to sell to another investor or find a partner. That is a big deal to do by yourself. You may be able to get a hard money loan with numbers like that.  The HML's here care less about scores than they do the deal and the experience of the borrower. I like HML's better than partners but either will do when you can not do the deal with a bank

Good luck and thank you,

Thank you for the reply. It is very much appreciated.  But, do you know of any good HMLs that lend in Pennsylvania??

You may also try a google search for hard money. I  only have experience with Central Texas HML's
