helloi'm also learning in this area but i know warm market is a source of private lenders.I havent heard of REI meetups in my area (Zimbabwe) but possibly next door in South Africa.Asking for referrals, from acquaintances also may connect us with likely sources of private moneyI've been thinking the owner of the property may be a source of money to facilitate the deal closing (seller financing at low interest rates), right?

Since the classification of “like-kind” property is so broad, the 1031 rule is a powerful tool to diversify your portfolio while deferring tax payments.By not paying taxes at the time of sale in exchange, investors have a lot more capital to work with and can bid for higher-value properties through an exchange facilitator.

I am the one securing the financing and facilitating the rehab along with supplementing holding costs.

To be honest, I likely won't facilitate this project, but am using it as a tool to learn for future opportunities.- Let's assume the lot is already vacant and has already been purchased utilizing a lot/land loan. - The goal is an 18 month loan to complete phase 1 below.

They find you a lender and facilitate underwriting and collect a % commission at Closing which is about 1% of loan amount (the last I heard).

Note that my long-term goal is to set up systems for my investing business to facilitate long-term use. 

Only reason I am offering this is because you said you had a license and you may be looking for someone who may take more of a facilitator fee, not necessarily guide you through the whole process. 

Typically, the wholesaler will facilitate an "open house" and provide a window of opportunity for you and GC/Contractor to view the property and assess the number of repairs needed to execute your exit strategy of choice.
