Five days late on rent, have an eviction/private server company put the notice on the door to start the 30 days (in FL) count down!   

,it’s a 1 acre+ “estate” with a circle drive, private entry gate, the whole nine - it basically has everything we want in a dream house after a few cosmetic updates. the location is better for work commute and rentals, but the surrounding area is less posh and we cant walk to restaurants and bars like our current location.

With little to no experience in the real estate market my biggest question by far is, How do you fund deals when your just starting off?

I do have access to 60k plus some more private money if needed for a deal.My internal debate is that im feeling quite spread thin between holding a contsrtuction job, learning how to be an agent (and get that business going), as well as attempting to purchase a fix and flip(s) in order to buy and hold. 

the biggest risk mitigator of all is INFORMATION.

Federal Law: Fair Housing Act ExemptionsSingle-family homes rented without the use of a real estate agent or advertising are exempt from the federal Fair Housing Act as long as the private landlord/owner doesn’t own more than three homes at the time.Apartments of four units or less are also exempt if the owner lives in one of the units.

I have one in Oregon that is just under 10 million and typical hard money rates are being quoted.. however frankly if you still cant make nice profit paying for HML or private money then the deal is probably to tight. if your talking 10 points and 20% then ya that would  be a little bit high.but 2 to 5 and 10 to 14 is in the all park.. for a HIGH risk horizontal loan.I just did one personally ( i was the lender) in Orlando and we were up there on the top end of what i am talking bout 30% apr  but the developer snag a great deal and will still make a few million on it while paying me 100k for a 700k loan he used for 7 months.. that seemed fair all around..

My dad and i have a private lender for a house we are remodeling next door to our house. we could move next door into the house we are remodeling and rent the current house we live in(without rent to own). then use the rent money to pay the private lender for the money we will need to borrow for the subdivision. 

Also, even if a lender on Bigger Pockets can do those things the lenders are not allowed to say it....since that would be considered advertising to the rules of Bigger Pockets...I think they are allowed to private message you though. 

Finding a good contractor in my opinion is the biggest challenge for new investors.
