I've done a fair amount of background reading on the topic, but am looking for a lawyer with experience structuring real estate equity/debt deals to help me draft operating agreements and promissory notes as well as provide some guidance on my Private Capital strategy.Thanks in advance for the recommendations!

I have however set an appointment as a potential tenant to see what the units look like in reality, tour the whole thing and also talk to the management and get a feeler.

Say you had enough for 10% down on a good deal would It be wise to get private money for the rest (projecting a mortgage of 1500 and PML payment of 500 and cash flow 700/mo) Let’s say you have exhausted all friends, family, colleagues for that other 10%, are there private lending companies out there that would negotiate terms?

Or find private money. 

After many conversations I guess Private insurance normal there.

If it's a private individual, small company, etc, you can try to call them to work something out. 

I use a scratch-N-dent place outside of Philadelphia, PA (private owner, small company) and after my last appliance purchase back in April 2018, he said the same thing.. all appliances went up about $25-100 depending on size (so a standard 30" frigidaire SS went from $1500 up to $1600 now), etc. 

Shoot me a private message

owner is offering to seller finance a property he owns.buyer wants the property but wants owner's mortgage to him to be in 2nd position to his (private money) down paymentwhy would a seller risk the chance to foreclose if payments are missed by taking 2nd position to the private money lender?
