Hi Patrick,I am looking to identify hard money lenders and private money lenders, as well as seeking advice on how to begin funding the first few deals we take on (or if we should even use outside capital initially) My personal credit has been a 15 year battle (due to 2 divorces, multiple identity theft incidents, and most recently a breach of contract dispute with a creditor (they want me to keep paying them but not provide agreed upon services).

Offer to be his/her assistant for free, do all the stuff he/she hates doing, and learn the business from them.

If the borrower is seeking a construction loan, I would say loan administration is of utmost importance.

Readers should seek professional advice.

Let me know if I can assist in any way, I started in 2019 and investing has been good to me, I'm happy to share what I learned.

Random things like this.I can only imagine if they did allow you to add all the bedrooms, they would make you also add fire sprinkler system and a commercial fire alarm system like residential assisted living. 

While showing one of the newly vacated units to a potential renter, he informed me that he was displaced because of the hurricanes, and that FEMA was providing him with assistance for moving, including paying his security deposit, rent, and moving costs.

I am happy to assist and have a detailed discussion to go over potential options to help if you would be open to it.

In terms of the second scenario, the upside I see is the option to get a different kind of loan (say, FHA with a lower down payment and other assistance programs for K-12 educators like me) since I'd be getting a new primary residence instead of a second home.

I talked to 2 smaller syndications, both were seeking investors in apartment buildings, one was in Michigan near the Indiana border.
