If you could ask one thing about how to raise private funds for real estate investing what would it be?
Hi!
I am about to write some new articles on how to raise private funds for real estate investing because in the new post-bubble world normal mortgage and hard money lending is drying up and many investors are being forced to use alternative methods – one of those methods, and maybe the best, is private lending.
Please tell me what you would like to know so I can craft these articles to address your issues
Thanks
Mike

Folks,
please be very cautious of taking advice from a poster on BP with such a huge negative influence level and from somebody who has such a limited amount of contributing activity to the site over a long period of time.
Add to that the due diligence that has uncovered the original posters inability to make wise investment decisions, you should be very cautious as to what advice you take from such a person.
Anybody claiming to be a RE coach who has several filed lawsuits against them as well as foreclosures should be avoided.
