Saying that, don't expect an individual or a small investor's LLC would be the same arguments.

For example, I plan to invest in Houston, but am uncertain as to which submarkets are ideal.

I dont see a need for the individual property insurance.

I know there are some creative strategies out there but I can't imagine being able to get an individual I don't know to lend me $500k with no money down of my own!

Seems we share one very important ideal and that is...you can never know too much.

I had several potential investors (including equity fund, individual investors) promised to pitch in but did not perform when we needed them, resulting loosing few deals we had under contract.

For someone who has NO MONEY, how can you purchase a HUD when from my understanding most hard money/private lenders will not loan to individuals and HUD will not sell to companies.Is there any work around for this situation?

If they all have the same seller/owner you can market a package deal or wholesale them individually(your preference).

In my area, it's very, very difficult to sell them because individuals generally prefer to buy SFRs rather than condos, and there are a ton of SFRs around at affordable prices.

For an individual, the banks were willing to give me a loan at 70-75% of the appraised value of the home, at a rate of 5.5%.
