Best way to fund a first deal

[Joshua McLean]

Im currently educating myself on BRRRR-ing and managing rentals. I have not started yet, but I am trying very hard to figure out the best solution to fund my first deal. Because I want to BRRRR it, traditional lending is not something I want to do. Im a college kid with not a ton of capital and Im looking in Cleveland (if that matters to anyone). I think as of now my best solution is private money, but thats my question. What better solutions are out there that you guys could suggest to me? Or whats the best way to go about the private money strategy?

Even with a BRRRR, at the very end, usually you would use traditional lending to refinance your money out. When it comes to private money, it would be really hard to trust you if you have no experience or track record...
