I’ve been digging into private money lately—trying to wrap my head around how investors and lenders make these deals a win-win.

You'll find a lot of hard working contractors.Have something to write on as many of the contractors won't have business cards.You'll still want to screen them a bit because, "there's a reason they work with the hands, not their heads":)

Others have hit the nail on the head.

I am eager to start but can't get around the glaring issue of not having initial capital so I was wondering if there are any methods you guys would use to raise capital if you were in my shoes or is it just time to put my head down and put in long hours? 

My current goal is to analyze properties for potential deals on BP pro daily and start wrapping my head a general understanding of the process. 

While it is good to protect your assets, it sounds like OP is overthinking it and also making up worst case scenarios in his head.

Together we make about 120k-ish and as were doing this, were actively paying down our credit card debt which together is about 20k at the moment, just fyi.I feel like this is a solid plan, but I'm not too big headed to admit that I don't know everything.

Thanks for the heads up!
