I would ditto Sean's advice, join or attend the UVREIA meetings (find them on www.meetup.com or just google).

They would only lend up to a certain percentage of the fair market value of the property, that way in the event of default, the hard money lender would profit handsomely if they had to foreclose or sell to an end buyer.

There's also some great networking events that take place in the Cities. 

Rent rolls, deposit reconciliations, venders, event tenant notes, key operational details..

So long as you are not pledging a personal guarantee - and thereby providing the lender additional recourse in the event of a default by pledging your personal assets as security for the IRA's debt - then the source of the loan does not matter.Most private lending transactions, especially owner-financed notes, are non-recourse in nature.

I just attended a real estate conference in Bakersfield and decided I did not want to barrow an enormous amount of money to attend an advanced training. 

There we found Realtors, lenders, wholesalers and title agents who were attending. 

I have been attending college for about four years; I obtained my Associate in Science, I conducted behavioral research as an intern for one year, I became Vice President of Leadership in Phi Theta Kappa local chapter, and I was active in school activities.

With that being said I am willing to work with those who are honest and will help us all be successful to whatever level we each desire.Looking into the future I will be attending REI meetings, as well as continuing to study to move this journey forward.

In the event that the soils at that level is unsuitable, then you will be spending for the beefed-up dimensions of the caissons and grade beams come in, to support the additional basement load, right?
