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

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 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.  

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.

We are going on tour soon.

That is part of the standard contract that realtors use, but a private party sale could of course be different.  

I’m looking at two properties about the same price, both around $360k.prop 1: new construction townhouse, HOA of $100, private outdoor patio, 1060 sf, 2 bedroom + 2.5 baths.

It's interesting to me how some of you respond on a public forum vs those who privately DM and want my business.
