However, I’ve witnessed cases where the investor went “all in”, spending and losing many millions.  

I’ve realized I need more passive options, and have moved to a syndication and private lending.

Since my firm is an investor private client boutique, I do not share resources outside of my client base.

So spending 200k on an ADU will likely not increase your property value by 200k. 

Agree Google nmls - funny on Facebook where 99% of private lending groups that are public are scam artists you get the "well license isn't required"I reply to this noting that while you are correct in some states - chances of a scammer with a nmls license are less than 1% while those without is 99% on sociale media 

My mark up is always lower than the direct lender because I don't spend money advertising during the Super Bowl or buying a private jet for my CEO, and we don't have layers of management we need to pay.

I could never find anyone that had done business with them.I mean really anyone do no doc 5.75 % private money.. 

I’m currently working on a deal in Fort Lauderdale & actively looking for financing solutions like hard money or private lending.

Don't spend your time with other agents as a focus. 

As a result, I would spend more time trying to understand who they are partnering with than anything else.
