How to use a private lender to buy rental?

[Jonathan Meyers]

Hey everyone, I have access to a private investor who is a relative that is very established in commercial Realestate. They want to help me secure some residential deals. What are the best strategies or success stories using private money? I'd like to buy and hold on some properties but having trouble figuring out how to refinance the homes so that I can get the money back for the investor and have the property with none of my own money down. Or should I just try to do flips? Suggestions or advice?
