Hi All,Newbie here, just a quick question we are building an addition on our second home, we have a primary residence, and two rental properties. We are trying to not use our retirement funds. Are there any strategies...

These are great for experienced flippers who can handle the tight timelines and costs.Private investing usually involves individuals funding your deal, like friends, family, or networking connections.

Quote from @Andres Ortiz: Hello all, as many of us have been experiencing, I have not gotten any value from any of the PMs that I have engaged. 

I have been experiencing what you're talking about.

Obviously tough to give advice based on minimal info and no info on your personal situation.

These areas are experiencing significant development and population growth, driven by families and professionals seeking more affordable housing while staying close to the job hubs in Plano, Frisco, and even parts of North Dallas.

It also could come from not having an experienced partner to help mitigate risk. 

Off the bat, I had a few questions that hopefully someone more experienced can help: 1. do auctions allow financing after winning the bid, or do they require entire amount to be immediately wired? 

Super risky for an unexperienced person then nearly a waste of time for an experienced lender.MOST wholesalers (my assumption) won't care about someone else's $ especially if there was no relationship before with one of these EMD lenders. 

They all say they will be on the lookout for me, and they are experienced realtors.I did however get one from here, bigger pockets, and this realtor hasn't worked with investors before, butis asking me to sign a contract so I am working with them exclusively.The reason I am asking what to do, is because this realtor with the contract is very new, but I heard that most realtors will ask you to sign one if theyre serious.
