@Dan GroveAs a private money lender I agree with Nicholas' sentiment.

With a large portion of the incoming migration coming from international residents moving to the District, emphasizing improving and bringing back Washington D.C. sports teams to the city should create a strong desire for domestic residents to want to live near a fun, community engaging activity that is very relevant to those that live in and around the city.The District also has other programs it is running to make the District more attractive to live in outside of just working in the area, such as the Office to Anything program (Source) and the Housing in Downtown program (Source) which will incentivize developer through tax credits to convert office buildings into new construction housing and new construction retail properties, which should continue to attract more residents back to the area.D.C. also understands that with all of these big changes we have seen, the strategy and allocation of resources from the government moving forward should be reassessed to create a city that is adapting to the future trends to remain a safe and desirable place for residents to live.

I am familiar with being licensed thru nmls but never heard of any other type of certification  means nothing.. its just a private company non accredited.. 

I have met some private investors that are interested in helping me with the funding of my flip, but I haven't found any properties yet.

What would be my best approach, I assume find a private lender and work out some deal with them.All questions and answers will help thank you.Normally the lender for the reverse mortgage will start a foreclosure.

However, there is no way to do so without risk.The Internal Revenue Services issues three (3) Private Letter Rulings (PLRs) that allowed the taxpayers to do just this.

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.
