I have recently stumbled upon this website to learn and retain a lot of the information provided.

That could be a stumbling block for friend.

And I stumbled upon a local community group specifically in that area that cleans, fundraises, etc.Property is newly, if slightly rehabbed (last month).

@Tyler Howell It IS very hot - we were lucky to have stumbled onto the home as a bank owned.

most anyone with any experience is not going to go behind a HML as their funds are in jeopardy of being wiped out.. at least not to make it even remotely interesting to a Private lender to make 8 to 10% interest in such a precarious situation.. now you might find the PML who fell of the turnip truck.. but anyone with any experience wont do thisI would recommend you recalibrate and look for that equity partner.. share the wealth until you have enough capital to do these yourself.If you don't have 20 to 40k of your own money by now then you need to earn it and save up.Like I said you may stumble into someone who does not know what they are doing.. but find that local guy create a relationship make them some real money it will serve you far better in the long run.. trust me on this

I am looking to connect with like-minded indivuals when time permits and am grateful to have stumbled upon the Bigger Pockets podcast and community!

I went through some ill equipped contractors, some dishonest subs who took the money and ran, and stumbled through a 70k full gut not knowing anything about construction while working a full time job.This project took me a year to complete and i learned so much about the business.

They just happened to stumble on it first.

Maybe I'll stumble upon a few partners along the way!

The county (Alameda, CA) doesn't have an online tool to get the ownership information...or maybe I haven't found it yet.I stumbled upon blockshopper while searching for address information.
