What route do you think makes more sense to bring together private capital for flips?

Best to keep your private life private.

I will be happy to provide additional information privately.

@Dean Ingraham exactly - a planner with a detailed time log is your best bet.

I started looking around using the MLS, but know choosing the right area (and ignoring even certain streets in an area) is paramount to making a good decision and need to start working with people familiar with that area that can work with.While I do have money saved up, I am also wondering how feasible it is to get traditional lending and then going through a private lender to finance the rest or at least reduce the 20% down amount to not down the money into the house – oh, and so that it cash flows?

Then contact us by clicking on our names and sending a private message.Next to the names, you will see geographical location.

I've got to clean up alot and save more to work within the banking system and will go along the route of private lending, but hope that helps!

Etc.I think your best bet is to get a grasp on exactly what this property is costing you so you can decide how to best move forward. 

Then later on down the line (1 year I believe is the time required for a owner occupied loan to refinance) once the property is Renovated and Rented out, I then refinance and pull some of the equity out of the house's new ARV and pay off my private money lenders?

Private lenders, hard money?
