I work in marketing with a private money lender who focuses on lending for rehab projects.

Long story short, evicted the tenant, put on a new roof, painted the walls, replaced carpeting, added a 1/2 bath, got a new amazing tenant in place (they have since finished the basement, added security alarms, painted walls, added cabinetry... all on their own dime) paying $850 a month.Fast-forward again to last year.

From our short discussion, they said they'd secure my financing, fix and flip the home. 

Does anyone know of Gallon finance corp, are they a  good private lender?

I would just use private links on YouTube or Vimeo.

Unless I can get private business insurance that excludes the extra $250/year mandated by FEMA/NFIP, then I'll probably just pool funds from all the rentals into one for disaster relief savings.
