Logistics of using private money as part of the cash to close

[Alexandra Scardo]

Next week I have a tentative closing date on my first flip! I have a hard money lender and I’m using private funds from family as the cash to close. How do I actually move that money around? Should I have my private lender transfer money directly into my own account? Should the money go from the private lender directly to the closing agent? I do know that the hard money lender will not be sourcing the funds. Thanks everyone.
