Hi @Melinda Vaughn, I just now looked back at this conversation.

Not to justify this, but it is super important for lenders to have the hard conversations up front. 

So, if you know or someone you know how to do it, let’s link up, have a conversation going.

If you are self-managing, that's a different conversation. 

@Shiloh Lundahl of course we don't mind you participating into the conversation and get your insights.

Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you through it:**Understand Local Regulations:**First, you need to check with your local city or county to see if the zoning laws allow for this conversion.

Start posting some ads and start having some conversations with these guys if you don’t get any referrals.you get a better feel when you speak with people one on one.

Megan, Not sure if I can help you exactly, but a few items that might help: 1) As you are out having conversations with potential private money lenders, you can start the conversation about "Did you know you can use IRA, or old employer 401k funds to make private money loans, secured by real estate?"
