I do some private lending and I use Money Lender Professional software, but its like $300 to purchase the software. 

Probably the second biggest complaint on this site is the challenges related to contractors.

Finding a contractor you trust and who does quality work is the biggest factor, but this is hard to do from afar and referrals may be your best bet.

If none of this sounds appealing try wholesaling from a distance or working for one of the bigger wholesalers in your area to learn the ropes and add valueJorge all the biggest wholesalers in florida are licensed brokerages..

Washer, dryer, fridge and stove can be your biggest appliance expense. 

It's a private transaction so I'm not as subject to market pressures in respective to timelines like an on market deal.  

I usually get loan from private lenders with 8% interest and it was quick and easy. 

My wife is uneasy with these types of loans due to the balloon aspect, but I'm generally OK with them, as I keep a solid credit score, good income, ample reserves, and have good relations with many conventional and private lenders.

Here is another question that I'm sure has been asked before but maybe times change...Besides say the BP Reports of the deal analysis is there anything else that would be smart to include to private or otherwise lenders and or partners, in a nice presentation folder or the like.

The single biggest thing to help us was having local people we could trust when we ran into crazy situations.... since it seems to happen a lot in real estate!
