With software like propstream I can even look at seller mortgage details and MLS private remark.Getting license you only know the legality aspect of being an agent but doesn't necessarily means you would be a smarter one to get to know the market.The only thing that I can not do with propstream is I can not download all disclosures when I try to purchase.

We are unable to meet our financial goals.I don't usually speak ill of anybody but we decided we needed to make an exception.So be forewarned, fellow investors - there are disgusting people out there, running predatory companies with zero ethics - that will prey on investors and mistreat them in the name of "PRIVATE" lenders, right here in the United States!!

Facebook is the last place you want to find private money. whats unfortunate is real estate professionals are still advertising to us newbies Facebook is the place to find the lender.Who said that?

If we face any headwinds, liquid investments go first so probably crypto but then you bet equities will get pressed.

This being said, I don't believe we'll be able to meet the income requirements to qualify for a conventional.This leads me to believe hard money or private lender is more the only option to get my foot in the door, use my business to make repairs at very good rates, build some equity then refi once the balloon is due. 

Your best bet is to go to real estate networking events near those areas and talk to those who have invested in those areas.Best of luck!

My mark up is always lower than the direct lender because I don't spend money advertising during the Super Bowl or buying a private jet for my CEO, and we don't have layers of management we need to pay.

I would talk to a number of residential, private, and commercial lenders.

Depending on your income needs, pulling equity out and lending privately combined with a fulltime or part time job may be another option that doesnt bring as much boom or bust risk as flipping. 

with private and HML  the deal is done all at once..
