I have my team of handyman, cleaning company, and boots on the ground guy and even A co host to answer while I’m sleeping (7 hours difference), but I don’t know how to handle the furnishing face. I

@Chris Martin  is exactly right.. private money on its face is Private.. they have no website they don't advertise.. private lenders are your dentist who has a few hundred grand in his self directed IRA and when your getting your teeth cleaned you start talking about real estate and what you could pay is much better.Or Private folks you meet at meet ups... what you will find and there are a bunch of them trolling BP as well they are simply Due diligence pump and dump schemes.. offer you terms that are too good to be true.. and since your a beginner you have no clue.. and you gladly send them a little money up front because its sound reasonable.. and they just keep at you until you finally wake up and realize your not getting a loan at those rates and or a loan period that you have simply fallen for yet another scam artist. 

@Rosd Leathers yes I think you are right, it is hard building relationships when you can't get to meet people face to face. I

To meet associates face to face is even more amazing. 

The problem I face is there doesn't seem to be many properties in my area that meet my needs.

You are paying ($330k + $50k + $40k)/$450k = 93% of ARV which, on its face, is a deal that will lose money.
