Private money/ hard money loans?

[Ryan Guerrette]

Hi BP members, I recently purchased my first duplex as a house hack rental in Central Connecticut but I became curious about private money or hard money loans. Does anyone have any experience doing one of these deals to buy commercial real estate? I'm not looking for a business partner just any tips, tricks or advice. Thanks

@Ryan Guerrette 99.9% of hard money lenders won't touch a house hack deal because it is considered owner-occupied and most are not licensed for that and don't deal with the regulation that entails
