You do it for potential private money too.

Don't I also need a contract in hand for my private investor, so that I can have all financing in place?

This is one of the neat things about commercial there is a big enough pie to make working with private money good for all involved.

Thread If you could ask one thing about how to raise private funds for real estate investing what would it be?

That, or do you have any suggestions on how I can continue to live the style I am used to while still capitalizing on the great real estate prices out there now?

so are most ppl in this board real estate agent or private owners?

If I use private investing, what can I expect to pay for the money?

On the properties that I found for rehabing prior to finding out that it would not work for me, I put together almost book report style proposals for potential investors featuring repair costs, photos, my own blueprints etc.I want to thank all the experienced investors on the site for the valuable information they are willing to share.

They seem to be helping alot.One will fund the whole purchase price.I also have a private/hard money lender at 8.5% and 2pts that we may use.

Hi Steven, don't forget to market your deal to local REIA forums in addition to attending their meeting to potentially meet investors with private $$.
