I would have a house already but that is used as rental and I bought it using private lenders.

you can always call or email the tenant in regards to this matter. i personally smoke as well and just would want my tenants happy and not feeling accused as its a big problem with a lot of tenant v landlord situations around the country. you can always say you got a report of the odor of weed and was just verifying the smell with both tenants on the property. you can restate your conditions with smoking. you can always ask if they are legally able to do so as well (meaning medical card). depending on how you want to handle it, if you want to make it a legal warning to the tenant as well, you should write a written letter sent by mail stating you got a report of weed and this is a written warning in case this a problem down the road, you have evidence to show the court if it gets to that matter that this is not your first occurrence. best of luck!

Some investors use conventional loans, while others use private lenders, hard money loans, or partnerships.

Another option would be working with private lenders to see if they're open to your idea should you need additional funding. 

I private messaged you. 

This is a 'nicer' mobile home, double wide, 1998, shaped / looks more like a 'house', attached garage, on a very beautiful private lot. 

Do some smaller dollar private lendingA property is too capital intensive and $20k will not get you very far.You also did not describe what level of risk you want to take, so that is something also to take into consideration when evaluating where to invest.

Facebook is the last place you want to find private money. whats unfortunate is real estate professionals are still advertising to us newbies Facebook is the place to find the lender.Who said that?

pretty small hurdle to have a good win as a private lender just get paid as agreed.now equity participation loans those can spin the needle pretty well ..

Because I am partnering with them instead of simply using them as a private lender, they are getting equity in the deal and splitting the profits with me rather than charging a premium on the interest payment.Im not really worried about the strategy, it is solid with low risk.
