Oh wow @Oz Radiano! 

Oz

I've looked into DST and OZ funds for myself and they really don't fit my needs. 

@Nigel PrenticeI don’t do private money loans to my clients in order to help them out with purchasing a home since that could be a bit of a conflict of interest, but I have several friends and connections in different spheres that look for funding sources and I love partnering with them. and you’re right, functionally my definition of private money is not very different than Hardmoney, but locally when people refer to Hardmoney lenders they are talking about the few people who do this institutionally, instead of people who do a few a year with far less structure

If you're ready to grind it out, and work on your sphere, sure.

Thanks @Oz Pariser 

It's very very tough for the newbies to break into this sphere now.

when you say investing in the opportunity zones are you referring to tax benefits of an OZ fund or making a secondary gain through non OZ fund investment due to the appreciation it will create in the area?

Sphere of influenceEveryone that knows me in my circle, knows what I do.   

To which I tell them that what I know can fill a 12 oz cup, but before I joined BP, it could've fit into a 2 oz cup!
