My real estate journey began in 2010 with a three-family property that I lived in, renovated, and eventually turned into a profitable rental before selling it via a 1031 exchange to purchase a short-term rental.My current goal is to acquire my first multifamily property using private lending by Q1 2025 and grow my portfolio using the BRRR strategy.A question for the community: What’s been your most effective way to connect with private lenders for small multifamily properties?

I use the "profit first" approach to cash management and am VERY happy with what it has done for me. https://a.co/d/h16sPxR

I have found a few deals on the market lately for some clients that flip, the numbers still gave the flipper a profit and the rehab time was 5 weeks.

Once I build some profit I plan on putting a structure down.

If you catch these at the pre-foreclosure stage as slow pays or initially in default all the better as the bank has less in collection expense.You can still work out a discount but even buying at the payoff it can be profitable depending on the property value.You can practically force a lender to sell as it can fully indemnify them as a full payoff as demanded, continuing with a foreclosure becomes a rather vengeful act by the bank to punish a borrower, they don't want to go there.

Currently own a STR thats been profitable for almost 3 years now and in the midst of a Live-in Flip.

Perhaps you can barter that for experience and, perhaps, a taste of the profits and then, later when you're capitalized, do what you're suggesting but now with experience and skin in the game.

For profit and not for profit investors can be brought into the financing structure to work together to meet the needs.

Ok so this would be profitable for a potential investor if you seller financed.

There s no reason for anyone I do not know to park on that street aftern10 at night (or virtually any time).To get to my property you go through enough security cameras that it may rival Fort Knox.So ~10:30 a car alarm goes off.
