Many of the investors I know have dialed back on their private equity investment or have changed to doing debt instead of equity so it was not prime time.

And they'll want you to pay off the loan pretty soon (and usually will you as the rate will probably be higher than banks) so there's that too.For this reason, we definitely prefer private lenders as they will (if you've built trust with them) often lend on the rehab too.

I am interested in acquiring a 10-acre lot with a house listed for $1.6M in a Houston suburb and would like to investigate financing options for building a commercial structure on the property.

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

I imagine others don't like that it's in an older condo building without private laundry.

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

That is tight leverage for an investment 2nd position loan.A private investor might be willing to do it, it's not going to be cheap at all & will be short-term money & will not be a line of credit to take out at your liking.What is your rate on the 1st?

Real estate is so localized that most federal based policy changes don't have massive influence.I can see him (semi-)privatizing Freddie/Fannie.

I want to discuss it privately, which is why I requested a PM.

A less then full investigation may result in one thinking that the house and or the house and tennis court lots were what was being sold.As I later found out, a newbie tax lien investor thought they were getting a great bargain by outbidding other misinformed investors and paying the back taxes, legal fees, and an additional $34,000 (overage) which the county forwarded to me.
