If it was a C+ neighborhood but now there is significant rehab going on it would be wise to invest because soon it will be a B neighborhood.

Memphis is also where one of our Founders and Principals, @Jeffrey King, lives almost full time, year around.Speaking in broad terms, the largest difference in product for us is we focus on the A-B+ Class Memphis neighborhoods, which would be the $90K - $180K price points and $900-$1595 rents per month.

Deed transfers, same day, same property, A-B-C scenario.

If there is any implication that just anyone can follow steps A, B and C and then be able to raise even 1 million in minutes, such would be very misleading.

Think of REI as a 4 legged stool.Leg 1 - Buyers - for Investors, FHA Buyers, Tenant Buyers, Owner Financing BuyersLeg 2 - Sellers - A B C D Areas, Needs Work, Pretty Houses, Equity, No EquityLeg 3 - Funding - Bank Loans, Private Lenders, JV Split Partners, Hard Money Lenders, Owner Financing for Free and Clear Houses.Leg 4 - COIs - Center of Influence Referral Partners - Only after you have success stories, like CPAs, Attorneys, Financial Planners, etc to refer you business.Techniques include: Wholesaling, Rehabbing, Lease Option Flips, Sub2 Rent Out, Sub 2 Lease Option, etc.Private Lenders for Buy and Hold was your question.I would focus on sub2 and rent out.

Here in the Maritimes we have not seen quite the meteoric flight of property prices you have in ON and AB, but then again, we have not seen any real increase in average family income in a generation.

My personal goal is to own between 20-30 SFH which I will eventually sell out of and use cash to buy a run down below 70% occupied multifamily in a B class area.

Depending on what you're looking for, you can get a "C" class type property that will rent for $750-$800 for mid to high $50k range and a "B" class that rents for $900-$1100 for $75-$85K.

I will do my best to explain this scenario related to the purchase, rehab, and refinance of a property I am pursuing.Purchasers A, B, and C are partnering to purchase and rehab a duplex (purchase price and rehab not to exceed $90,000 with e rehabilitation loan)Application breezed past initial underwriting as all partners have above 750 credit, stable income, low debt to income, etc.
