Richard,
My thought is that if a lender wanted to rehab houses, he/she would do that and not be in the lending business.
Unless you know someone already who’s approached you about this, I imagine it would be easier finding a partner that wants to do rehabs than asking a lender to partner with you.
Instead of paying a hard money lender an interest on a big loan that i would have problems to pay if my RE Agent can’t manage to resell after 6 months my completed rehab house, would it be possible to let the lender pay mortgages and holding cost but give him intead a 50-50 profit on a deal?
I know i may give the lender a lot more profit than just paying him interests on his loan but i would feel more safe for my 1st deal to protect myself in case the house can’t sell after the works has been done on it.
