Does anyone have any strategies on working with private lenders to acquire rental properties without using capital??

The products they sell are almost always counterfeits or not as described and the land they sell/finance are worthless.

Local property managers are another great way to find buyers for your investment property as they know investors looking to acquire more property and investor friendly Realtors to help you find buyers.To Your Success!

However, we typically use the FHA-203k loan because it involves a renovation, which I highly recommend if you are looking to really boost your equity and have the cost of the renovation wrapped into your loan with a VERY LOW AMOUNT OUT OF POCKET.I like the FHA loan, but honestly, the Fannie May Home Style is an even better product at this point because you just have to bring a bit more cash to the table 5% vs. 3.5% (w/ FHA), but you have a bit more flexibility.  

Also can you list some banks that allow the soft pulls when applying for business products.

Great tools that get updated regularly.I am on the lending side of things and would be happy to hop on a call with you anytime to discuss financial strategies and help answer any questions you may have about nearly any loan product available to help you on your journey, even if they are not products my capital partners offer.We are all here to help you learn and grow.

They may have economy of scale but the consistency of delivered product is not always there. 

I do both an email and a phone call I usually email first and do a phone call to ask if they have a phone number.Thank you for the advice, I understand the lack of creating equity but I feel like all I'm doing is the same as any other buisness which is getting a product, repurposing it for a consumer, and selling said product/service.

You may want to find a private lender, sell something, etc…The mortgage lates are going to keep you from any bank/mortgage products

@Francisco Ruiz ensure that if you are obtaining financing, you ask/ensure with your lender that they do not have any issues with the fact that the property you are acquiring may appraise as "rural."
