For the past five years, I have been providing private loans to a builder for new construction projects.

If you would like more information feel free to private message me and we can dialogue. 

No need to be obsessedFor me the reason I do it is 5 years down the line I will start working part time on my w2 and get more into real estate like maybe as a private lender and also doa  few flips and a  few joint venture dealsIntention is to not have the 9 to 5 ratrace etc and also work  from anywhere

If unemployment from private sector is getting better number than it's good sign.

@Corey SchneiderWe fund with a combination of Hard Money and Private Money. 

Even with private/seller financing, if you're househacking, the lender will still be subject to the ATR rule and ignoring this will cause problems for everyone.

My best lender when I was active was a private person. 

You could try selling as a seller financed deal..20%+ down to cover RE costs and balance to seller..He would hold a private note for 2-3+ years and be taxed on the income.

@Martin Kim many of our clients invest in private funds that loan to fix and flippers as an example. 

Costs can vary widely, but you might expect to pay anywhere from $10,000 to $25,000 for a comprehensive PPM (Private Placement Memorandum), Operating Agreement, and Subscription Agreement.
