What's the hardest part of building a network of private lenders?!

We raised $1.2M in committed capital in the month of July.

I don't say that to brag. We are truly humbled by our partners willingness to team up. But I DO say that to let you know it's easier than you think. Prior to July, we had zero experience raising money.

Private money provides a ton of advantages for both the borrower and lender:

1. Both parties set the terms. It's not a one-way negotiation like it is with a hard money lender.

2. It's passive for the lender and easier for the borrower. As a borrower, you aren't micro-managed by your partners. The lender doesn't have to do anything, but sit back and collect checks. Less red tape. Faster funding. It's a win-win!

3. Lenders have two securities: the property (bought at a discount) and YOU! If you're trustworthy and have rapport in your network, many people will want to invest with you.

4. Highly scalable. It doesn't get harder after you've done 10 successful deals. It gets EASIER!

If you're looking to learn how to start raising private money to fund your deals, let's connect!

We invest primarily in military markets. To us, markets near large military bases provide the below benefits to investors. Who else is investing in these markets? 

1. STRONG rental markets - 430,000+ service members and their families are forced to move every year. This means there are always a healthy supply of new renters at any given time.

2. INSULATED market conditions - factors that affect military markets are different from more typical markets. This is evident when you compare a military market's House Price Index to the national average (see attached). Military markets held up much better during the 2008 housing crisis. BONUS: there are no COVID layoffs for the military!

3. Affordable homes that CASH FLOW - most military markets afford you serious cash flow. And they have under-appreciated appreciation (see what I did there?). Check out the HPI!

4. TWO rent collectors - aside from your property manager, you can rely on a tenant's chain of command to ensure your paid rent. I was an officer in the Army and had to withhold several soldier's pay for unpaid rent.

5. PREDICTABLE rental income - housing allowances (and pay for that matter) are public domain. You can google how much soldiers are being given each month for housing.
