I have a property on the barrier island that I do not want to list on MLS but I am interested in connecting with realtors or investors who typically sell or buy pocket listings and may be interested in this property.

Typically will be rent by rent strategy (which is tough for none owner occupants) or College rental.   

Private Money or Hard Money LoanHow it works: Short-term loans from private or hard money lenders to purchase the lot and finance the construction.Benefits: Easier approval and faster processing, focusing on the property value rather than your income.Downside: Higher interest rates and shorter loan terms (typically 6-18 months).

Typically if you attend any investor meetings about 1/2 the crowd in many groups are agents looking for business.If you want to network, try service clubs, alumni groups, charities, religious groups, hobby groups or whatever interests you. 

Hey @Jaycee Greene, we typically get loans from smaller local banks.

Our short-term residential investment property loans are typically 60-80% LTV and all are personally guaranteed by the borrower(s) -- we pull credit, background and PFS on each guarantor, verify experience, verify liquidity, underwrite the property, neighborhood and zip code.

But, those deals are all costing something, typically time, and a lot of it. 

Private Money Lenders are going to be hard for a primary residence as it is an investment and typically they want to see a return prior to two years - also, the house would need to be purchased at a discount which would limit your options on a primary residence - now if you are looking for something that needs some work that you are planning on fixing up, it would be a little more feasible.

Leverage will be reduced from the max available, reserve requirements increased and, typically, you would be required to use a professional property manager.

Both these 2 are not easy to do, and typically take expertise, experience and or capital.
