So how do you normally approach these conversations when you are negotating.

I think BP is a great place to get people publicly together and then they can create a private group.

You don't want people peeking over their shoulder seeing someone's personal private information for example.

The loan info (hard money for acquisition; conventional for refi) is from actual conversations or emails with lenders. 

I know a couple local hard/private money lenders I can connect you with, one of them is a sponsor at the Dover real estate investor meetup that takes place the 2nd Monday of each month at Chapel and Main Brewery.

While I don't see it on the IRS tax information, if I remember from the conversation with him, I think you have to buy properties that need significant improvement. 

You may choose to invest in real estate directly by acquiring a property, or passively by investing through a syndication (or by being a lender to someone else.  2) pencil out the numbers to see if the math is in your favor for a Roth Conversion and real estate investment with a SDIRA.

We actually are lucky enough to have found private investors over the years. 

As private money lenders, protecting your investment starts with careful borrower vetting.

. - I finance conversions, hence, I represent investors/developers who will purchase if it meets their parameters.
