My humble advice to anyone attempting to do creative finance is:Creative finance is for experienced investors who have access to capital if anything goes wrong.Learn the lawsDon't use a contract "off the internet", laws vary by state and are also regulated on a federal levelLearn the financing techniques correctlyDon’t skip parts of the processDon’t ever do a “kitchen table” closingUse the proper deedAn attorney can help you with the legal work, but the rest you are on your ownYour guru will not bail you out“Investing” in someone else’s deal by providing a small 2nd loan so the “investor” can pay for “cash to the seller” and for “closing costs” so he can do the deal is a very bad planKnow what problems can ariseLearn the responses and solutions to problems before they are neededKnow everything there is to know about Title and what that meansKnow who a "protected class" individual isLearn the "back doors"Learn human natureUnderstand timelinesUnderstand regulation enforcement (some of these "mistakes" have a 10 year statue of limitations ( they can charge you 10 years AFTER you do the transaction) and carry hefty fines and possible imprisonmentThe court doesn't accept "I didn't know" for an answer"Know that the source of the lead plays a serious role in some states and federallyKnow how much of a "profit" pushes the boundaries to invite an investigationYou can be sued by the seller if you don’t do things correctlyYou are automatically at fault if an investigator or attorney or regulator gets involved.

I'm currently investing in the Albany area, would just like to network, learn, and share what I've learned so far.Thanks

These are great for experienced flippers who can handle the tight timelines and costs.Private investing usually involves individuals funding your deal, like friends, family, or networking connections.

It’s great to see your enthusiasm and commitment to learning wholesaling.

It is our goal to provide all the tools, resources, education & coaching any individual needs to learn how to build a sustainable investment portfolio to achieve financial independence & generational wealth through real estate investing.It should be noted, that while the Academy is not a requirement to invest with RTR, the individuals that do join the Academy are much more successful long term since they have spent time to clearly develop their own individual investment strategy & plan!

Quote from @John Keane: @Jay HinrichsGot it, I will definitely re-evaluate my profit split structure after what I have learned here. 

I hope to learn more as i go.  

Many investors start their journey by diving into individual distressed property deals, but if you want to grow into a high-volume operation, it’s essential to change your mindset, strategy, and execution.

Hi Taylor-You are looking to connect with private individuals who lend money on real estate deals and not looking to work with a broker but private individual lenders.You asked where to post your deals to attract these private individual lenders.Three thoughts on that:1.

I recommend learning your states laws and limitations around LLC's and working with some professionals in your area to help you determine your risk tolerance
