I have a private lender that finances mine from a self-directed IRA but have had no luck with traditional banks.

we have heard many good and bad experiences with using hard money and private money. we are new to real estate investing and looking to do a flip soon.

I don't think private money will be an option considering this would be my first deal.Thanks!

I am currently investing privately, but my ultimate goal is to form an investment firm or business if you will.

in addition, here in Central Florida, there are ton's of STR communities in the area that all have private pools and amenities that appeal to vacationers.
