A lot of private lenders will use their white label program to appear as a direct lender, however it is just another loan broker.

@Erik EstradaThe crazy part was that when I had spoken with the Self Directed IRA custodian, Equity Trust Company, they had given me a list of lenders clients had previously used.

You want to be working directly with the handyman, not the "GC" who is delegating and not doing any of the work.

However, it seems risky to own a property that you would barely break even on each month in the case of an unexpected emergency.

Everyone has a number and this number can be directly related to were you live I find. 

Just thought I'd check here too to see if anyone had any direct experience with them. 

Personally, this strategy put $4kish directly in my pocket / year when we we're house hacking.

Directed marketing to pre-foreclosures, a website with seo, networking, driving for $$, go to some local meetings.

And any that ask for any kind of commitment fee up front thats a fake lender.. two big national lenders are Kiavi and Lima one these are direct you can start there and they are very transparent with what kind of experince you need and pricing. this is what market pricing will be..

I had tried to establish direct communication with jesse, but the GC did not want me talking to him.
