Private lending?

My business partner and I are starting our own Private Equity firm.

NFIP (National Flood Insurance Program) administered through FEMA is the government option and has had a monopoly for 50 years and due to this has driven up the cost. 10 years ago the president and both houses signed into law that the market is now open to private flood insurance companies (usually backed by Lloyds).

Had some questions on private lending, and I figured this was the place to ask!

My Condo has a private entrance, 3 bedroom 2 bath, and allows dogs with NO weight restrictions which is pretty uncommon around here. 

There’s a good bet that there’s deferred maintenance so you have to think about what you’ll need per unit.

Let me know if you'd like his info via private message. 

When I was living overseas I was doing private lending for other people that were flipping homes.

My Question: Can anyone give me a scenario or attempt to spell out for me how I would go about using private money for what I'm doing?

Your friend probably paid private money rates which can be as low as 2% -10%.
