Look for private sales in public records or on FSBO sale sites, and/or6.

Quote from @Dylan Jeluso: This questions is the same question as getting your real estate license when doing flips, you have access to the MLS, you save money on the commission, and you have a little bit of a competitive advantage over the next person that is not licensed.

If it's private money, they would issue a letter.

If each property costs $250,000 and the only acquisition cost is a 25% down payment, how much savings would you need?

They also provide guidance on entity selection, tax strategies, and long-term planning, which can save you money and trouble in the long run.

Save your money, do some Google'ing and you'll be just fine.

fix and flips are the vast majority of the targets for private lenders.

So, for now, keep saving and learning about those markets or ancillary markets nearby that have better options.

I mentioned using hard money ($300k), private (100k), acquisition fees, wholesale fees and close to $200k in refi funds.

You don't want people peeking over their shoulder seeing someone's personal private information for example.
