i just got off the phone with lindsay someone that works for them they want $34k and they offer no guarntees. thave a 78% success rate in getting people funding. that mean 22% of the prople that signed up where promised the world but were not able to raise capital. according to linday they have 700 paid members. 700x.22=154. 154 people paid them $34k and were not able to raise funds. im not an expert but they need to file a case with the attorney generals of the united states. i asked lindsay why isnt capital raising set 1 because ill pay you $34k from the money you help me raise. all of a sudden she is busy and got to hang up with me. i told her i gave you 1 objection and she gave up.i did not have a good feeling speaking with lindsay. and after the call i checked my email she sent me 2 emails. 1 minute apart from each other which tells me they will take anyone and everyone. as long as they pay $34k.

My Dallas property has been one of my best investments, but it's only been about 9 months. 

Are you asking how you can get access to private money or are you asking how one becomes a private lender?

If you are both not fully on board, your spouse will resent you because this was not his/her idea and you are still living on concrete floors or sharing 1 bathroom, etc. - just the inconvenienced existence of fixing up one project at a time.
