@Thomas Richardson As @Mike Grudzien mentioned, reading my book doesn't exactly tell you how to "pitch" to private lenders but it does help you understand how to present deals to novice or new PMLs within your network by being able to show them how you'd protect and safeguard their capital with things like equity protection, title insurance policy, loss payee on your property insurance policy, going through a third party title and escrow or attorney to close the loan, etc.

Those present two very different levels of risk.You should also consider how long ago the offense occurred and what the individual has done since then.

If you decide you're done with investing and the stresses of owning real estate entirely, you might want to look into doing a 1031 and investing in some syndications or DST's (Delaware Statutory Trusts).
