It could be your own cash reserves or a private loan or equity in another property - doesn't matter. 

Add to forums, join conversations, start conversations, research.

Also private lenders can be great.

I’m an insurance adjuster right now by day so I don’t mind awkward conversations lol.

Or what about some super binding contract like a P&S or Mortgage Note, but one where I wave the right to dispute anything.I would have a lot of hesitation offering this to a private hard money lender. 

It was a stepping stone process and along the way, I built up more private money investors, more sub contractors, more GC’s, and more suppliers with better discounts.Look more RE into building the business and less into how much labor your husband does on the jobsite with his own hands.

If one moves out to assisted living or dies have the conversation with those remaining on affordability and work on a move out plan if they cant afford it.

I'm looking to be a private money lender with the funds I move into these accounts.
