Looking for help and suggestions- I want to say I have learned my lesson and now know to use a third party to hold funds.This is my first time working with a private lender/family member.

I bought this property with a private interest free loan from a friend. the person i bought it from need cash fast so i offered them a low cash offer and they accepted.I had enough money saved up to rehab the house with my savings.

I put 20% down using personal and private lending.How did you add value to the deal?

I use a private lender to borrow money to buy properties.

it will be a corporate/wellness retreat/short term rental destinationI need land that is close to the Action, but not too close, and preferably comes with two single family doors already built, so I can take advantage of Fannie Mae owner occupied loan and develop the rest of the land on my own and with private funding.Is Columbus a good market for this strategy?

Also, if this is something that you are looking for in a hard money lender, you might want to look into more of a private money lending model verse anything else. 

If discussing with someone in a forum and you all take it to private messages, that's a different story.

DSCR recently came popular in the loan brokerage and private credit space with the rise of STRs and MTRs.Your local bank lenders will have the best rates typically.  

Great replies here, and thank you for sharing examples of what you have or have not done as a private landlord.I do think there is a time and place to offer concessions, just not for people like you and me that are owning/managing portfolios smaller than an apartment complex with 100's of units.

If you are looking to list the portfolio, the agent could do Loopnet and the MLS.If you are looking for a private sale I have a few investors that I could shop it to, as well some private groups that I am a member of.
