Learning about fix-and-flips and leveraging private or hard money lenders can help finance flips.

Agree with @Ian Ippolito 100% based on my experience in fund formation and product development in private alternatives. 

Realistically, what would you want to see from a private lender?

I go to a meet up in San diego called private lending masters.  

I currently haver a private mortgage on the property that I will need to refinance in about a year or I have to pay a baloon payment. 

I financed this deal using a combination of cash and a private lender.

My STR is in a city where it is legal in private but not in public.

This can be hard money lender, private lender or bank.  

Private money lending.

I was told if I could show a professional license such as a broker license I might get approved but the best option would be a Private Investigators license, otherwise, they didn't see any other path to approval for me or my company.
