What are some good private lender sites have you guys used to finance your first flip.

A 50% LTV loan is a pretty safe bet so you'll probably be able to get somebody to bite assuming you're willing to pay the points/higher interest.Another option would be to contact some credit unions in the CT market you're property is located in.

@Alex Silang I am not claiming to be an expert but I think your best bet would be to look for a turnkey provider in a place conveniently close to you and see if they would be willing to give you a role in what they do - maybe doing something you are already good at, so they benefit, and in return you see and learn what they do.I am suggesting this because in my line of work there are many many people with academic and theoretical knowledge but they often haven't ever really applied any of it.

All the flippers use hard money, savings or private money.

Driving for dollars seems to be our best bet as of now.

My wife's tiny little home town in West Texas suddenly got a big boost as they found a bunch of oil nearby the other year and suddenly all bets were off.

Or keep looking for private owners to try to cut the deal that way?

So areas like that are not a smart bet compared with more urban areas.

You can try sending it to me via private message.

After deciding that real estate (specifically residential multi-family rentals for cash flow purposes) was the niche I wanted to focus on, I started volunteering after my day job at a real estate private equity start up here in Austin.
