I can send you a free guest pass to our general meeting next week and you can network with a couple hundred local investors and meet all kinds of vendors with hard money, private money, trades, title and wholesalers.

Given your previous career, your goals, and wanting to diversify your investments, I'm wondering if you might find value in the PassivePockets community, it's a community with private forum dedicated to passive investing in syndications.

The "private money", btw, is supposed to be Arnold's own money from one of his three "private equity firms."

The substitute of collateral was more of a scenario where you sold for $155K, and instead of paying off the $88K loan in your scenario, those funds stayed at the title company and were used on a cash purchase happening nearby in date. 

I am a flipper/investor who has sold many properties, frequently direct to the buyer. 

Capital gains taxes if the property is sold, although there may be exemptions if it’s their primary residence.2.
