Quote from @Collin Luckett: I have a couple houses I’d like to put under contract as fix and flips and would like to you private money lenders to help fund.

LouisReleasing Federal Land for private sale? 

First, let's be very clear here.The mortgage your speaking of is a private agreement between the seller and the lender.

@Dillon Clark-don't pay extra down on your mortgage-don't use a HELOC-save up as much as you can-hope this helps

Private (hard) money might help with renovation but will be pricey.

I happen to be looking for gap funders myself for a number of my house flip projects in Houston, TX and finding gap funders or any kind of private money involves a lot of networking and putting myself out there to meet potential lenders.

After this conversation and having an agreed upon vision, save it as a "Version" of the vision on that particular date. 

Or how did you figure out the nuts and bolts of how to do private lending? 

The first year was challenging meaning had a tenant but not saving, it was just making my living expenses cheaper.

Not sure if they would consider that private information or not.
