I have a great referral! I know it's hard finding the right fit. I switched many times and finally found a good one.


 Hi Aaron,

My wife and I live in Yorba Linda, CA? What is the name of your CPA?
Thanks,

Mike

@Ali Nichols can help, financing 15% at 15% is literally what Getawy does. They partner with you for 5 years. Professional management required.


 I looked them up, interesting business plan. Thank you for the link.

If you were doing deal in Nebraska I think I could work with you on these types of deals.

Quote from @Mike Crook:

Hi Everyone,

My name is Michael, and I'm a traditional turnkey investor. I have an opportunity that conventional or DSCR lending won't finance. It's for lease option investing, where the tenant brings in 10-20%, and usually, the investor provides additional down payment to obtain a 25% down payment. Therefore, I need terms in the 2 to 4-year range with a 25% down payment.

Most investors in our area are securing commercial loans from regional banks to finance these properties. However, I wonder if private money is a viable alternative to borrowing from regional banks. I do understand that private funding typically involves points and higher mortgage rates. I've come across private money coaching courses from people like Ron Legrand, Jay Connor, etc. However, before investing a significant amount in coaching, I wanted to know if there is indeed a market for private money.

Thanks in advance.


 I know some private money folks who could probably take or look at a deal or two, or at the least point you in the right direction.


 Thank you, how do I reach out to them?

Thanks,

Mike
