Want to know the best way to have a win-win in private lending---> do not give someone a loan who does not deserve it.We buy defaulted debt and I cannot tell you how many deals we are seeing right now to people who have never flipped a property and the numbers from the outset never worked, it also does not go into people without experience, its people with experience but attempting to work out of state or in other markets.

@Ming HuangRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?
