(can private message if that's better, if you're willing to share).

I do a lot of private lending and we do make some passive interest, but the good fixing flippers make the bulk of the money.

2.Are there strategies to reduce the required down payment or secure better mortgage terms?

I do not have the capital for the property to pitch in, so I plan to use the investors money to secure the property.The interest rate that I will pay the investor is 5% for up to a duration of 20 years.

Hey, I’m looking to connect and network with private individuals who lend money on real estate deals.

@Bob Asad at our bank, we have an escrow account for security deposits, it is set up with sub-accounts for each tenant with their security deposit amount and their SSN.

Hey @Thanh Lu, we don't do much direct bookings but we do have a $500 security deposit.

Your best security is your neighbors , they are right there and see whats going on at your property .   

I do have a silent investor, but when it comes to securing funding, it often feels like I’m navigating it alone.

You can then tell the security office to disregard any alarms the rest of the night if needed.They run off of batteries and need to replace about every 3 years.
