It was nice to have a virtually private workshop with 3 experts, but I am certain most people who paid wanted to attend.  

Private lenders, often individuals or small firms, are another option.

the only ones that make this work are LAWYERS and PRIVATE Detective type companies .. the only ONE"S making money on this are these guys just dusting off OLD material joining the modern SM craze to suck in newbies that think they found some new system  LOL.. 

As a Private Money Lender, I had the resources available to broker a short term loan to buy, fix and hold.

Most areas of the metro you can rent to an individual for $800+ month / room and even more than that if you're renting a room and private bathroom. 

Rents increase 5% annually on average here.My mom is excited about the opportunity and is willing to contribute her 401k towards the 15% down payment on a hard money loan or less if we find private financing.

Anything outside of criminal code  between ADULTS with their mental capacity INTACT is just that: a private transaction where two parties agree to exchange the goods at whatever price they agree to. 

Subto is a private FB group. 

I have a cousin who funds RE deals and he has a whole network of money people, so I am putting together a business plan to submit along with my financials and an investment proposal.I am coming from single family residential, and have only ever worked with hard money for short-term loans, and also some smaller amounts of private money.

I work with institutional capital as well as a variety of private money resources to finance such things, but don't again, don't expect to find "low" rates and fees for such.Many investors I come across run into this problem with financing even though they've built up a cash cow... it is hard to understand sometimes, but be aware of the challenges and make sure you have financing options in place for what you are doing before you jump too far in.
