I have found both a reputable mold remediator and a third party tester for the seller to use.

I'm just getting started, but have been exploring the market for many months.

If he closes most of the deals he puts under contract, you don't have to worry about your reputation.

Ive only begun to explore it!

I am exploring the option of partnering up with a private money lender and I was curious on how these deals are typically structured.

There is absolutely no need to pay the typical $thousands of dollars to buy one.If you end up buying one, or better yet, taking one over, you will want to join a reputable club that facilities trades from one location to another, so you don't end up staying at the same place each time.

Getting a couple of last minute things together and wanted to ask those in the BP community of any reputable, known Commercial/Private Hard Money Lenders in South Florida.

I am putting a lot of my energy into exploring my options for financing.

I chose to down down the "Passive" path originally because I was too busy at work to do anything on the side and almost 13 years later it's still proving to be the right path for me.My suggestion is to consider whether you want to be "Active" or "Passive" and then explore the paths that exist down whichever makes sense for you.And, to answer one of your questions, you do not need to be an Accredited Investor to participate in some syndications (some allow Accredited Investors only while other allow Accredited and Sophisticated Investors).On a final note, I would be happy to help you on the Passive side in terms of questions, etc.

Consider wholesaling these deals you are finding to other investors to build capital and then they might return the favor and partner with you, or if you build a good enough reputation in your local investor market you might find people to loan you money.
