I put 20% down using personal and private lending.How did you add value to the deal?

Your question has been debated between BP tax experts both privately and publicly, for example here: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/51/topics/819991-expens...And we ended up where we started: no consensus and no clarity.There have also been court decisions that support my interpretation, even though I personally find these court decisions debatable.

What I was referring to was that I know two private lenders who have the borrower complete the Deed in Lieu documents at the Closing of the initial loan and then hold them in escrow during the life of the loan.

They highlighted it as a prime opportunity in the Polytech area, though "hefty rehab" was putting it mildly.

Private investors want to invest in deals they believe will be profitable.

You could get a loan from a local bank or private lender to fund it

The client can distribute proceeds through a private agreement without involving the title.

Also, if this is something that you are looking for in a hard money lender, you might want to look into more of a private money lending model verse anything else. 

How can I privately message you?
