Private Money Lenders (PML): More flexible, relationship-based funding with lower fees.

@Vincent WeselakIt’s a good idea to get an estimate for your insurance costs upfront since this can vary based on the property type and location, and it’s a key factor in evaluating your cash flow. 

I am based out of Westchester County, NY, looking to invest in multifamily properties.  

We’re based in Reno/Tahoe, so feel free to reach out if you’d ever want to chat. 

. - For Private Lenders:- Vet investors based on their experience, reputation, and past performance. - Clearly define the terms of the partnership to avoid misunderstandings. - For Both Parties: - Use legal agreements to outline roles, responsibilities, and profit-sharing. - Communicate openly and regularly to build trust.

Hi Everyone, I work for a investor focused Real Estate Team (Morrow Wargo Group) based around Allentown.

Hey Jon would recommend checking out FB groups if you aren't local (looks like you're based in the Bay).

Generally yes a HELOC will go off your personal finances so qualifying is generally based on your income, liabilities, and credit. 

My question is, If one is to be strictly commission based, Is finding a broker with mortgage industry similar to finding a broker with real estate?

Maybe they bring the experience and provide the funds.I don't like any of your options based on I think you are too new to investing in real estate to take on any of those.
