I have potentially raised 90% of the required funds through the combination of Private lenders, land owner and syndicate investor.3.

While real estate might be a solid bet right now, what if it isn’t in a few years?

@Brian Ambuel You bet. 

I have had 10 private showings along with about 6 no-shows.

I borrow money from private lenders in my market every month.

As an aspiring real estate investor I like the idea of being able to invest in real estate, notes, metals, and lend privately to others through a self-directed IRA.

They have suggested they would partner up with me and take over the build/liablilty with a private money loan to get the construction done faster.

You can borrow from bank (signature or Home Equity) private money, hard money or even put on a credit card.Then you wouldn't have to worry about the pool liability or tenants.Maybe your In-laws would front the money?

One thing I can say about Foreign National borrowers, you can usually bet they have good savings, multiple paid on time mortgages and other loans under their belts when they contact me.     

These houses were built by a company and are all on its own private street and pretty much identical to each other.
