As someone who deals and talks to real Private Lenders (small shops run by a guy who lends his own capital and doesn't use big box), they have a hard and fast business model that produces the rate of return they need to remain profitable and curb the risk on their cash.So the best product for a budding fix and flip investor is the bridge loan which includes acquisition money and construction money. 

To do so, I need an initial team who can cover the following aspects of these projects:- Wholesaler- Contractor (Inspection oriented)- Equity Partners (Project Incentives)Once the deals are in place, the financing support will be through personal capital for upfront costs, with the intention to raise private capital and include hard-money lenders as-needed.

Ok but "should have known" and "did know" are two different standards, and unless the seller had a survey done before it was put up for sale that clearly labels the roof as crossing survey boundaries, I doubt you can make a case there for fraud ( which is what willful failure to disclose is).

This may border on mortgage fraud though if she gets a conventional loan knowing she intends to just hand you the title.What about a private lender that won’t make you sign personally?

.- Tax Benefits & Currency Arbitrage: Some overseas markets offer better cash flow, tax incentives, and lower property costs compared to the U.S.How You Could Structure It- Create a Private Syndicate or Real Estate Fund: Raise capital from U.S. military, contractors, and government workers to invest in properties near U.S. bases overseas.- Focus on Key Military & Expat Cities: Target locations like Ramstein, Wiesbaden, Rota, Naples, Seoul, or Yokosuka, where thousands of U.S. personnel need housing.- Offer Fractional Ownership or Managed Rentals: Investors own a share of multiple properties while you handle property management.- Leverage Serviced Housing & Co-Living Models: High-end, furnished rentals for military professionals, digital nomads, and traveling contractors.Example Strategy- Raise $1M from 10-20 investors (military/gov personnel) to buy 3-5 properties in Germany or Spain.- Use seller financing & local bank loans to maximize purchasing power.- Rent properties to military families, U.S. contractors, or co-living tenants for stable cash flow.- Utilize local tax incentives and investment visas to increase ROI.Why This Could Be a Billion-Dollar Play- Solves a real problem for U.S. military/gov professionals looking to invest overseas.- Provides stable, built-in demand (military personnel have guaranteed salaries & housing stipends).- Creates an alternative wealth-building strategy for a niche group of investors.- More scalable than traditional rentals.

I had never heard of such a thing.. and most private flippers dont know it either So like on our subdivisions whatever LLC we own it in that LLC also has to have a developers license .. so  If you have multple subdivision going in multiple LLC you need multiple developers licenses.. where this can stymie some folks  NOT EVERYONE can qualify for a Bond.

Some have found that to be popular and guests bring the basket up often in reviews or privately. 

Cruz seems to focus more on seller financing which seems to be limited as a lot of sellers don’t offer this.  90 day rental road map focuses on private funding with exclusive lenders for their students that will fund 100 percent of the deals.  

What I’m discovering is that just because a town allows STRs doesn’t mean the local laws make them operationally feasible unless you meet very specific criteria.For example, in Highland Lakes, access to the lake requires private membership, and it’s unclear if STR guests can use it.

And with a twist, that everything from day 1 is designed and built to facilitate intaking private $ into the "fund".
