I met multiple private lenders at events/seminars and have potential partners because of the mastermind I'm apart of called M1.Cheers!

Like Jay said above, I think interest rates will be the biggest slow down at this time right now in certain markets.

This would allow you to save money that you could potentially invest in things like real estate, notes and private companies, however you have the peace of mind that if you need the money, it can be easily accessed.  

Are you saying you've had three private lenders invest with you to purchase property?

One of the biggest reasons I want to invest in my native west Philadelphia Area is I know where UPenn and Drexel are planing to build and how that effects the homes in the area.

@Ashish Khera Working with a private lender can help lock down the property quickly with closing times of around 5-10 days.

Best case scenario you downsize into a duplex or triplex and live “rent free” in one of the units.I don’t know your market BUT the biggest risk I’ve ever seen anyone take is NOT taking any

Your price range will be the biggest determination for the areas you should start in. 

@Freddie WilliamsHi Freddiethe biggest hurdle is to finance this deal.

My biggest concern is your statement that you couldn't get a clear answer from your tax team.
