Straight answers
Do you lend money for Blythewood deals?
No. I’m a real estate investor and a borrower, not a lender. I explain how funding works so you can ask better questions of anyone you talk to.
Will a lender fund my deal because of the Scout Motors plant?
Lenders fund the specific property, the scope of work and your exit. A deal that works on today’s comps is what gets a serious conversation. Future demand doesn’t replace a sound purchase price.
What's the difference between private money and hard money?
Hard money usually comes from a business that lends to investors as its main work. Private money usually comes from individuals who know you. Both need attorney-prepared documents. See private money lenders explained.
Can I get a fix and flip loan on a Blythewood house with acreage?
Possibly, but ask early. Some investor lenders limit acreage or prefer certain property types, and many won’t fund mobile homes. Confirm before you’re under contract.
How do I find a hard money lender who works around Blythewood?
Ask other local investors and South Carolina closing attorneys who actually funds deals, and check references from recent borrowers. Communities like REI Skool are a good place to ask.
What should I ask before I sign with a lender?
Every fee, how draws and inspections work, what happens if you run past the term, whether there’s a prepayment penalty, and who you can call as a reference. Have your own attorney review the documents.
Can I raise money from several friends for one deal?
Talk to a South Carolina attorney first. Raising money from many people or pooling it can implicate securities law.
