Quote from @Karen Smith: With more investors turning to private money lenders for faster funding, what benefits have you seen from using private financing versus traditional bank loans? 

You can use seller financing, or you can use hard or private money.

Property management is a "nickle" and "dime" business.  

The industry continues to see consolidation, with private equity-backed firms actively acquiring, albeit at a slightly slower pace than the frenzy a few years back.

It kind of depends on the type of properties you're looking for funding on.

I have my eye on two properties.

Most banks won't want to come in with a line of credit that is second lien on the property.

In this post, I’ll explain why private lenders are vital to structuring successful JVs and how both parties, real estate investors and private lenders, can benefit from collaboration.

If you don't have the relationships, hire someone who does.This is why Brian Burke can go “large corporate” while I have to stay “small private”; he has the ability to MANAGE PEOPLE that I do not.  

I'm curious to hear how other property managers and landlords are navigating this.Here in College Station, TX, I don't accept Section 8 applicants.
