Did you guys ever raise private money?

In this post, I’ll explain why private lenders are vital to structuring successful JVs and how both parties, real estate investors and private lenders, can benefit from collaboration.

Quote from @Amanda Dobbs: Is there a place to find Private Investors as in one person?

When someone wants to send you a referral privately, they are probably sending you a friend that pays them a referral fee.

Not sure if this is the correct place to post this.  I have the opportunity to help a family member be part of a joint venture with them putting the down payment down.  They aren’t able to get a mortgage themselves so...

The "private money", btw, is supposed to be Arnold's own money from one of his three "private equity firms."

I could never find anyone that had done business with them.I mean really anyone do no doc 5.75 % private money.. 

I suggest you enter private money goldmine in search botton at top right of the screen and read the previous posts....here is one that gives good perspective as well as a link to legitimate private lenders.http://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/92/topics/1488...

While sophistication of your equity partners (private money lenders) will vary between residential and commercial, the principle of raising private capital is the same.You need to develop your own system which allows a constant stream of PML even when you don't need the funds and/or don't have an active deal under contract.For example; I raise private capital by offering free educational workshops for people with self-directed IRAs.

You could get a loan from a local bank or private lender to fund it
