You could invest passively by being a private lender (earning high interest), being a money partner (getting equity and a return for no work), investing in a syndication deal (similar to money partner but on bigger deals where you are one of many investors), buying another investment property and hiring a property management company, or investing in stocks. 

If you’re in an area with a strong private banking community, that might be your best bet.Hope that helps!

Husband and I are purchasing a property as our private residence that also has a small cottage on it we plan to STR. 

Gutted out the entire inside and remodeled to ‘cottage modern’ style.

I’m looking at private lending to flippers with a line of credit or using a line of credit to put a down payment on a new cash flowing property (which is extremely hard for me to find right now) but with a line of credit as a down payment I would be financing a new property at 100% at unfavorable rates.

They pay on time, the place I'm sure is causing roaches and mice for other units due to their living style, with the garbage and hording etc. 

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. 

@Deborah WodellThere was a guy who used to post on BP from Maryland who did private lending and was a fraud, changed company names many times and what he would do is write construction loans, fund the initial amount but didn’t have the money for the draws.

Jack,since you run Gelt and do private lending, think of being in first position on a loan with a private lender and that lender just randomly assigns the loan to someone else without advising you.

Perhaps setting up a private FB group and inviting those in.
