My go-to with smaller value properties is a commercial loan, which usually is based on either 15% or 20% down and my favorite lender locally for this is currently between 5%-6% depending on the rate-lock period (between 3-10 years) and the loan is amortized over 20 years.That's my go-to strategy. 

Hey Andrew,You can utilize the Find a Lender tool here on BP.

I'll send you a private message. 

My plan will be to purchase a vacant land with cash and finance the home build through a private money loan.

Almost all of the properties went back to the lender (banks - note#2) or sold at the courthouse steps. 

The lender also ran the numbers to see if I would qualify and the numbers below reflect info given by me to him and his calculations.

I have a modest LinkdedIn presence and use Youtube only for watching videos and privately sharing others. 

Jeffrey - A few suggestions: 1) The loan amount would be whatever LTV you lender can provide with the cash out loan.

Add that they have bank financing as well and you are an unsecured creditor behind a lender....  

So if you are looking to meet agents, wholesalers, maybe a couple lenders, or some investors that have done a few flips or own a couple SFRs, you will find many people there.This isn't to say they are bad, but in the several dozens I have attended, they have not been worth my time, professionally or personally.
