I'll message you privately.

Financial Highlights•Acquisition Price: $72,000•Renovation Costs: $35,600•Total Investment: $107,600•Funds: raised from personal savings and private lenderHow did you add value to the deal?

And if your investor friend’s private loan helps fill in any gaps, it might be worth considering that short-term pain for long-term stability.What do you think you’d focus on first... paying off that line of credit as fast as possible or jumpstarting the renovation to boost cash flow right away? 

@Luke H.Hi Luke,  As a private money lender myself I will focus on one element of your deal---5 years is a long time to be finally paid. 

However, private financing options are becoming increasingly popular for scaling portfolios.Zoning and restrictions: As you mentioned, regulations for short-term rentals, such as Airbnb, vary significantly.

I have broken down 4 key benefits to a retirement account: 1) Compounding interest in the absence of taxation (particularly with a Roth IRA) 2) Ability to self-direct into alternative assets, like real estate, private real estate partnerships/syndications, crypto, gold & silver and other alternative investments. 3) Credit protection (see state specific laws), but generally inherent protections. 4) Upon death, if setup properly, probate avoidance 

Based on your real estate investment strategy, figure out who could be the best private money lender (PML) match.

My goal is to acquire and stabilize these larger properties using private lending to fund down payments and renovations while executing a BRRR strategy.I’d love to connect with private lenders or experienced investors who’ve used private capital for similar deals.

@Ji Yang, I advise reading articles by @Ian Ippolito (also in BiggerPockets) online (google him) about how to vet sponsers and what to look at in a private placement memorandum.

Because I am partnering with them instead of simply using them as a private lender, they are getting equity in the deal and splitting the profits with me rather than charging a premium on the interest payment.Im not really worried about the strategy, it is solid with low risk.
