Did you also include financials/ POF for the down payment/ credit report/ info on yourself such as your experience level operating rentals, to give the seller more peace of mind to lend to you?

Have you found that private money lending allows you to structure deals in ways traditional lenders won’t?

You can get money from family and friends, you can get the seller to provide financing, often called "Seller Financing" or a "Seller Carry" or you can get a lender to lend you close to all of the money needed (I see loans at and above 90% of purchase cost + 100% of improvements). 

They might offer better rates or terms, but would be more stringent with lending criteria.

From finding the investment, to lending, to insurance, and property management.  

There are for sure DSCR lenders that lend down to 50k.

Connecting with brokers and agents can open up new opportunities for business, especially in the private and hard money lending space.If you’re open to it, I’d love to discuss how we might collaborate or share insights on deals.

I am looking for software that will assist with the syndication process.

While they often come with higher interest rates, they can be a quick way to secure funding based on the property's value.Peer-to-Peer Lending Platforms: Exploring P2P lending options might connect you with lenders willing to fund real estate investments.I once knew an investor who faced a similar challenge and successfully used a combination of a bridge loan and seller financing to close the deal.

Great news for the local investors, bad news for the California absent landlords (our software catches/filters by property location and borrower primary residence, there might for example be a lender in California that lends nationwide but requires the borrower to live in their 3-county footprint, and every other configuration of that you can imagine).
