I believe it has to do with the fact that private funding sources are not the type you would normally find on an internet forum.From my experience, private money is something you'd find in close proximity to a particular deal, and more often than not, by word of mouth and/or by visiting local real estate investment groups.While there may be people who look to sources like BP to invest their money, it isn't your typial medium for private money.

The file would contain the subject property's address so you could mail there and often, it will contain a mailing address for the investor in which you should send mailers there.You can also use Google, PIPL and other internet research sites once you identify the owner name (individual or company) and through your internet seraches, you can often find contact info.

Don't listen to anyone who says that internet sites are better than the MLS, they're not.

If you were at a regular lender they could give you an internet appraisal and tell you upfront.

The layout could be ****, the cabinets could be hideous, etc.

I look over all of the photos and see which homes are most like my subject after-rehabbed (similar exterior, layout, and same part of the sub-division).

But, the contract doesn't lay out the details for extent of repairs, cost, etc.
