My family made theirs in real estate (house hacking a private money funded 4 family when I was little) so two different philosophies.

Well I called to complain and their response was that this is their standard operating procedure and they would not have shared my private financial information if I had instructed them otherwise.WOW...just...WOW!!

@Jay Hinrichs“this seems like a mini private mutual fund..

Metro could have different rent growth projections, however, this is a great sign to see that the area as a whole is moving in a very positive direction.ConclusionBecause of D.C.’s typical recession resilience from the federal government and the large presence of big-name private sector companies in the area providing stable employment, it is very rare to have the opportunity to buy real estate at a discount.

This would include doing mainly flips so i can get a solid return from that money or possibly even doing private money lending. 

I borrowed $110K from a private lender for the purchase and self funded the repair of the offices. 3 months later, I rented 6,000 sq.ft. of office space to a corporation for $21,000/month + utilities for 5 years with another 5 year option.

We use private investors and offer them 20% APR, with 10% return guaranteed, paid as a balloon. 

If you want to invest private deals which are generally the best deals then being an agent will kill that deal before it gets going. 

Does anyone have any strategies on how to a position a partnership with a private lender in order to start to obtain a Rental portfolio (with no out of pocket capital)

This is true for all private money lending situations..
