The other way I fund deals with none of my own money is using a private lender that I have years of experience and relationship with and/or using HELOC and other business lines of credit.

In the pitch I include just a couple of my projects from the last year as a reference to my experience. 

In our view, experience and integrity are by far the most important parts of any private loan.

Many people have had a great experience with home warranties, myself included.

I backed up, regrouped and went smaller to gain more experience. 

As the investor gains experience, they are not only able to more successfully foresee the “bumps” along the way, able to handle recessions, temporary negative cash flow, unforeseen capital expenditures without panicking, but will also recognize the opportunities necessary to turn a loss into a break even.

Quote from @Burke Atkerson: With over a decade of real estate investing experience and over 100 flips, I now provide private money & hard money loans.

Does anyone have any experience of making LTR working here?

I did work with New Western, I had great experience with them.

@Jonathan LudizacaFrom a lender's perspective, starting in 1-4 units gives you experience and many more lenders will be open to first time flippers in this space versus multifamily.
