Look at my profile to get more clarity.  

When you find a private lender willing to invest with you, you'll generally have your closing agent draft two documents:A note, detailing the terms of the loan, including amount, interest rate, duration, etc.A security instrument (AKA "security deed," "mortgage," etc.) that pledges the real estate being purchased as collateral on the loan for the benefit of the lender.However, since you mentioned "legit," you should know that your current profile isn't doing you any favors.

Can realtors share what’s the profile of the majority of the sellers - builders/investors or home owners who were hesitant to put their homes on the market at the start of the lockdown (creating low inventory)?  

Just bc some agents, who most likely suck at their job, and lenders that didn't look at your full profile said you can't get a loan, does not automatically disqualify you. 

That said, I would point out that residential lenders (banks and otherwise) all have slightly different profiles for their lending criteria so I would certainly discuss your plans with multiple lenders. 

I mean you stopped working there more than 2 years ago and when you left you were a sales director according to your LinkedIn profile.

@Aviv LangYour profile mentions that you are located within New York City.New York/New York City has one of the more complex tax laws in the country.You may want to engage a CPA in New York who understands real estate taxation along with multi-state taxation. 

@Sarah Brown For note funds, look at the profiles of the frequent posters on this forum category.

But honestly, I think your low profile mission friend probably made 5-10x what fortunato ever did.
