"Additional Insured" on Insurance Policy to Property as CollateralHow specifically should a private lender be mentioned on the owner's insurance policy to a property used as collateral to a loan.

Hello everyone!
I'm new to real estate and currently don’t own any properties, but I’ve been learning a lot recently. I’m trying to work with a seller who deals in off-market properties, but they only accept cash or ...

Steve: If you are going to bid on an Ohio Common Pleas Court  foreclosure, the process is pretty safe because the foreclosing lender has to include a "PJR" which is actually a "Preliminary Judicial Report" which is a title report and include a commitment for title insurance should the bidder be successful and the property to be conveyed.This differs from a liquidation auction by a lender, private auctioneer, receiver (other than an actual foreclosure case) where you might be successful but the property has pre existing liens that don't get swept away by the foreclosure case.For your first one of these, get a lawyer to advise you.

Hi Julio,Depending on how many properties you own/Value of said properties and your loan balance.There are some private lenders willing to blanket 2nd position loans if the LTV they are at feels safe.

To be a reliable and successful Private Money Lender, focus on building strong relationships with borrowers and real estate professionals, thoroughly assess each investment opportunity by conducting due diligence on the property and the borrower's financial background, and establish clear lending criteria to mitigate risk.

Private investment in these projects seems like a challenge as I can't see how they'd get paid back on their principal. 

It puts us a little behind at the beginning of each new year but honestly, I think it brings everyone back refreshed and more efficient when they do come back and we also take that time off so it's nice to know that I'm not ignoring emails from them.I've heard good things from other investors that have used Rocket Station and Hire Train VA to find theirs but I can't speak to that experience personally.

If you have any specific questions or want to talk strategy, tips or tricks feel free to email me or reach out.

I've been in the hard/private money space working as an originator for coming up on 6 years now. 

To diversify further and maximize tax-free or tax-efficient retirement income, there are several strategies you can consider.One key option is real estate syndications or private REITs.
