Post: In search of private lender

I’ve identified a few properties that would be great potential flips. I have the team and manpower to get the job done. Now, I’m in search of a private money lender to help fund the deal.

I’ve been getting emails from individuals claiming to be private money lenders that offer 100% financing at 4%. What are some red flags that I should be cautious of when receiving these emails to avoid any scammers?

Also, is it unheard of for a private money lender to fund 100% of purchase and 100% of rehab cost?

Thank you!

When analyzing a potential property to flip, what criteria or metrics do you use (or find most important) to determine if it’ll be a good/profitable deal?

Quote from @Alex Ramirez:

@Maureen Simmons that takes some courage to quit your job and focus on RE. I personally never felt ready to make a move until my wife told me "you are just wasting your time and our money" after sitting on the sidelines for longer than a year and just focus on "education". That's exactly what I needed to hear to take massive action. After 2.5 years (including my slacking years) I own a 12 unit, a 9 unit, 1 STR and I am a GP on 188 units and an LP in another 300+ units. I can tell you right now, you will never feel ready. A book that fires me up every time I read it to take massive action is "10x by Grand Cardone". Get on wholesalers buyer's list and analyze every single deal they send you. Go to meetups and seek for partners. Start a direct mail campaign and find an off market deal and find an equity partner that can bring the dollars or wholesale it for a 5-6 figure profit. There are so many things you can do. Let me know if you have any questions. Happy to help you.

 Hi @Alex Ramirez  -intersting point about getting on a wholesalers buyer's list. How would I go about doing this -aka finding a wholesaler near me that I could reach out to? Thanks!

I purchased my first property in 2021, fixed it and now is used as a short term rental. We have built equity in the home and would like to purchase another single family home/ multi-family but not sure if it makes sense to refinance. We currently have a 2.5% 30yr loan. Would it make sense to increase the mortgage on this home by refinancing to today's rates in order to pull equity for the next deal?
