I have listened to many BiggerPockets podcasts, and I am interested in expanding my network of like-minded individuals. 

Depends where you are buying and how much competion,

I came across these two individuals whom claim to offer loans for REI and businesses, ext.

Our attorney indicates we don't need any licensing, since our lending is direct....individuals lending directly to individuals we're not doing it as a company,  as a company, we simply find the deals, and we put the two flowers together.

I'm emailing absentee owners-there were only 4 of them in the subdivision and I'm emailing individuals with very high equity in their homes.

As an individual with limited real estate investing knowledge, this seems solid but wanted to ask.Thanks,Nick

(This last line may have been added)http://www.rentlaw.com/military/clause.htmRIGHT TO TERMINATE A LEASE EARLY In general, Under Section 535 of the Service Member Civil Relief Act, a military member has the right to terminate a lease, if, after signing the lease: the tenant enters military service (which includes a reservist being called to active duty); or the tenant signs the lease while in military service, and then receives military orders for a PCS move, or to deploy, or as an individual in support of a military operation, with a military unit for a period of not less than 90 days.

Usually these packages are sold by either retiring individuals or institutions.

Private money lenders are lenders that are known to you they are individuals not companies.. companies doing this are HML ... and I suspect these particular one's will just take your 80-0 to 900 dollars and you will never hear from them again..

Always good to see likeminded individuals on BP!
