Getting Properties through Private Lending

[Elijah Crew]

Hey,

So the deeper I am diving into this I am finding people using the tactic of negotiating with a private lender and getting them to pay for the property then eventually refinancing the property through a 30 yr conventional loan on it. Giving the private lender equity in the property or repaying them through the refinance. I know using leverage is a great way to get properties but I did not know it was possible to truly obtain with zero money down. So would going through private lenders to obtain properties to start off a good strategy? Or am I missing something?
