We use a combination of HML and our private investor network.

I used a private lender, BackFlip.

Private Money How did you add value to the deal?

Quote from @John Williams: Has anyone been on the lender side of private money and had a bad experience that they are willing to share?

Many private and hard money lenders will refinance your investment property if the numbers make sense.

The financing structure includes a hard money lender holding the first lien and private money lenders holding the second lien.How did you add value to the deal?

My main job is running my investment holding company, so I'm familiar with public and private market investments but new to RE. 

I only qualify for about $500,000 with my W-2 income.Without getting a private investor, is there anyway I can prove previous rental income in order to use the potential rental income to qualify for the loan.

There are more factors than just the community (#beds, level of theming, location to the amenities, style of home (single family, townhome, condo) and others) But I would strongly advise to stay within some of the same communities you mentioned like Storey Lake, Windsor Hills, Championsgate and a few others if cash flow is your goal.

However if you are bringing no equity to the deal they might scoff at the idea.The other thing you could do is find someone who trusts you who has money and wants to lend it. ( Private Money ).
