I'm not new to real estate investing or bigger pockets, but new to the forum.

You're cashing out a net $6 million directly from investors that trust you with their savings.https://41098383.hs-sites.com/share/hubspotvideo/18605256691...https://www.wallstreetoasis.com/forum/real-estate/rise48-pos...I believe this is the second attempt to raise preferred equity as well.

With real estate being alot cheaper in other states, would love to hear how they would do there house hacks. 

However, here are a few strategies to explore:Local Real Estate Investor Networks – Join local REI groups, meetups, or Facebook groups where private lenders may be open to funding primary residences under the right terms.Seller Financing – If the seller is open to it, you could negotiate a seller-financed deal where they act as the lender.Community Banks & Credit Unions – Smaller local banks may offer portfolio loans with flexible terms.Wealthy Individuals / Family Offices – High-net-worth individuals sometimes fund private deals, especially if they see strong equity and repayment potential.IRA or Self-Directed Retirement Accounts – Some investors lend money from their self-directed IRAs for real estate transactions.Since you’re willing to pay higher interest for a short-term solution, a contract for deed (land contract) might also be an option, where the seller keeps the title until you pay it off or refinance.Would you like me to connect you with any potential private lenders?

I have been analyzing commercial real estate opportunities involving stores like Dollar General, Dollar Tree, and Family Dollar.

It allows the sponsor to buy and sell real estate within the fund as well, maybe doing multiple smaller deals.

In my opinion, an in person meetup > an online connection.You may want to consider making a connection here and meeting up for coffee or attending a real estate networking event.Best of luck!

I know that a QOF can invest directly in real estate, but I’m particularly interested in the QOZB structure, since it allows for active business operations and working capital flexibility.For those who have set up a QOZB:How did you structure it in relation to your QOF?

But Real Estate she had no interest in.  

Build your network by joining local real estate investor meetups or online communities like BiggerPockets.
