You don’t need an SSN to get a driver’s license, register for school, get private health insurance, or apply for school lunch programs or subsidized housing."

Quote from @Anthony King: Are there any rules/regulations regarding private lending from family members?

Great meeting  every 2 Tuesday  next Tuesday there is one see you there. if you don't find it message me private. 

.- I was able to get access to private investigator software to find the true owners of these properties since conventional skiptracing produced poor results.  

It certainly is possible (private loans, partnerships, syndications, creative financing, etc).

Sure it can be a write off, but my question is if it is the highest and best use of your time (or the given employees time) to be running a skid steer - transporting it, storage, maintenance, cleaning, etc, and if it still makes sense if you need to hire someone to run it for you and take care of the other things.Add up all those recurring costs - maintaining the machine, maintaining the trailer, having a large enough truck to tow it, insurance and registration for all of the above, your time or your employees time related to all of the above...even at $14k a year it might be attractive enough to keep paying that and having them drop it off at the job site for you.A brand new machine could easily cost you over 6 figures - that's 7 years of rentals at $14k/year before including all the holding costs. 

I don't know if I did it right, because I prefer NOT to get a traditional loan for my next property.... and I don't know how to estimate (or even GET) private lender loans.My buy box is;- Something I can use for long term rental AND MTRs.- Less than $25K in rehab- Quick rental potential (<3 months rehab).- Low crime, low foot traffic- Access to restaurants, grocery and job (hospital, university, denver tech center, denver downtown)- COC ~5-6%My preferred method to buy is Sub-To, so I would like sellers (and agents) who are ready and willing to consider this.

Monthly payment comes to $917,  plus another $350 for taxes and insurance so ~$1280/month due to the seller.Using a private money lender to fund the deal, borrowing ~$130,000 @ 10% interest rate, interest only, principal + interest paid as a balloon after completion  or 12 months.House is a 3br/1ba 950sqft. near a university.

I'm certain the private entities want to stay out of the spotlight.

We also broker multifamily loans to banks, credit unions, CMBS, debt funds, and private lenders.
