Private Money: Does anyone have connections or suggestions for private money lenders who might be willing to finance the $200k?

Let's connect. 

This rise in rates is partly aimed at controlling inflation but has also made borrowing more expensive, reducing purchasing power.Consequently, money is effectively worth less due to inflation, meaning more is needed to purchase the same goods and services as before.

Also, any connections to some buyers?

If not, can anyone share how you find reliable and cost effective landlord insurance policies?

My biggest challenge was finding an effective property manager as I was not able to manage it myself.

So, I didn't really give them any money, but I did help their money grow pretty effectively and I'm giving them the gift of free room and board through college as mentioned.This has always been my plan for my children and I've taken a lot of guff for it over the years. 

Trusts do have benefits, but the costs for you at this juncture may outweigh those benefits.Often times, what people truly want is to just be protected in the event the unforseen happens with the property, and thus, a solid, robust insurance policy is often the most cost effective route at this point.

Check out deals closely, connect with many people, and eye cities where lots of folks rent.
