sent you a private msg via the colleage requestnew here, don't know how to PM youThe broker is great, highest closer and work well with me when I was out of state buyer.Very professional ;) used them on every deal so far.

I have a couple private lenders in mind to help me if I would like to rehab a deal myself.

It is much harder to find out who is the owner of the LLC and their private address/information.

I would do a tour of the house and see what conditions the roof, mechanical systems are in also.

Is it best to purchase individual notes on a case-by-case basis, work with a group of private investors pooling money together or ????

I would get access to all their contracts and scope of work documents and written materials they use for evaluating and estimating costs on properties.The second half of the instruction would be a series of tours of their current rehab projects ( they said they generally have 10 to 15 going at any time) and properties which they are considering purchasing as flip projects.2) Guidance through 5 flip projects.

Jon New, I'm sorry, I work in the private lender world, and have no knowledge of Fannie or Freddie underwriting.

Joel provided great info regarding private and hard money lenders new concerns with lending to OO borrowers due to the new laws, so that could be difficult to find.Jason provided some very good advice in working to get your scores up so you could qualify for FHA funding.

I started out originating private 1st mortgages and of course they're all performing, but even those can go non-performing because let's face it bad things happen to good people.

We have had some experience in investing, but have never used private money or hard money lenders to get into deals.
