These are great for experienced flippers who can handle the tight timelines and costs.Private investing usually involves individuals funding your deal, like friends, family, or networking connections.

However, you must have reasonable limits and hold to them.I give a great example in my book where a tenant abandoned a 2,000-square-foot home full of nice furniture, expensive jewelry, a brand-new $2,000 rifle still in the box, etc.

That's great that he travels so much but ask him to provide where he rented and where he slept during that time. 

It looks like according to the county site (sbcounty.gov) they require all renter payment go to the active owner. 

There you can build up your skills even further and these jobs can pay a lot if you are producing great results.  

Quote from @Clint Miller: Seller financing opens up great opportunities for real estate investors, but coming up with the down payment can still be tricky. 

It’s totally normal to feel overwhelmed when starting out, but it’s great that you’ve been saving and reading up on investing.

Clearing potential building sites.  

Non performing assets are why the notes are so cheap and give great returns. 

Looking great!
