You want to focus on areas where you have a competitive advantage (you have lived there or you have family and friends there) and then compare those areas against widespread list of great areas to invest.Good luck!

So before dismissing your options, you may want to consult an investor friendly Lender who is an out of the box thinker.

I definitely would recommend each of them - very resourceful and of course, investor-friendly.

To give a little more detail, I do believe all their cash flow is contingent on them getting you to pay upfront for their program, which I found to be inaccurate and unusable on anything other than a desk top, which I told them I do all my work on a cell phone (first red flag) that they didn’t tell me their property finder isn’t cell phone friendly.

@Jerry Maze What do you mean by investor friendly exactly?

In addition, a DIL does not automatically satisfy the underlying mortgage/DOT so if you accept a deed from the DIL grantee you may find a title insurer will require a release or sat of it before insuring.We have often used a “friendly” foreclosure instead of deed in lieu when we needed to “wipe out” liens junior to ours before taking property title.   

The way we have done it is to borrow from my 401K, when I pay mine back borrow from hers and repeat this cycle so we always have one we can pull from. 3) This option will be controversial but I have taken out private money loans with family and friends. 

one thing is your lending your money way under what private money should charge. unless your just doing your friends a favor..

If you want private investors, start by asking friends, family, or colleagues in your network who may wish to a passive income opportunity. 

I have friends up there!
