However, I have a challenge: I need to connect with like-minded individuals.

The bipartisan Corporate Transparency Act, enacted in 2021 to curb illicit finance, requires many companies doing business in the United States to report information about the individuals who ultimately own or control them.

Starting a private money lending business can be rewarding, but it requires careful planning and a solid understanding of the real estate market.

Luckily these two individuals, separate states and realtor companies, had everything working and running smoothly including my title and exchange company.

I would think that if the tenant is paying for the addition, they would want to have a minimum of a 5 year lease, if not a 10 year lease in place in order to pay for the improvements.As in any real estate investment it is risk reward, I think with the current market and a stable vet tenant, that if you can get a 5+ year lease, it would be worth it to let them expand.If you are worried about value, you could always talk to a commercial real estate appraiser.

My name is Omar, and I’m a new investor eager to learn, grow, and connect with like-minded individuals who are on the journey to financial freedom through real estate.

There’s definitely a lot of opportunity there, and I'm sure you'll find it both rewarding and challenging.A key part of successful fix and flip projects is securing the right funding.

I agree with this high level (Private Money = Individual, Hard Money = Company Non-Turnkey Product).I've been begging (mostly to no avail) for better clarity and definitions here for these to avoid confusion - BiggerPockets IMO has a HUGE opportunity to set and create the "gold standard" universal definitions of loan types with just a little initiative. 

If a cash out refinance, many lenders will allow the cash out to satisfy the reserves requirement.DSCR lenders generally let you vest either individually or as an LLC.
