Looking for help and suggestions- I want to say I have learned my lesson and now know to use a third party to hold funds.This is my first time working with a private lender/family member.

Purchase price: $187,000 Cash invested: $15,000 Sale price: $259,000 I got tired of moving place to place and worrying about finding roommate, security deposits and not having enough money to deal with maintaining someone elses home.

We use private lending to finance the purchase and construction of this home.

If you have that experience, you probably don't need much marketing, as sellers will be reaching out to you directly.Focus on securing one listing at a time and building momentum.

This means you can sell, lease, or pass on the property as you see fit, just like any other property owner.Full Ownership RightsYou have the same rights as a Mexican property owner, including the ability to sell, lease, transfer, or mortgage the propertyLegal SecurityThe Bank Trust is a well-established legal mechanism in Mexico, ensuring your investment is secure and protected under Mexican law.Renewable TermsThe trust is set up for 50 years and can be renewed indefinitely, allowing you and future generations to maintain control over the property.Estate PlanningThe trust makes it easier to pass the property on to heirs, simplifying the inheritance process and reducing potential legal complications.Although the process might initially seem complex, it is entirely managed and supervised by a reputable banking entity.

Over-budgeting is critical to ensure that renovations don’t eat into your profits.Market Fluctuations: If property values in your area do not appreciate as expected, or if you face a market downturn, the amount you can refinance for may be lower than anticipated.Financing Challenges: Securing financing for the initial purchase and rehab, as well as refinancing after the property is rehabbed, may be challenging, particularly if the property is located in an area with fluctuating values or if the rehab work doesn’t immediately improve the property’s appraised value.Tenant Risk: Rent collection and tenant management can be unpredictable.

Possible (but I doubt easy) if seller takes a 2nd / subordinate position to the bank or is secured by other property you own.

Best approach is to have your "team" set, before going out to secure properties. 

I think the main thing I am learning here is to adjust the profit share between myself and my private money partners.

If you have access to private equity then sure, but if you want to buy properties yourself then at best you are looking at 1-2 per year if you have really good income. 3.
