Have a single family property I'm looking to purchase - it already has a tenant and good cash flow; the realtor is not investor friendly and is demanding a $1000 good faith deposit, which I do not have - I'm working on getting a private lender.

You can probably find private money sources in your area.

I think the time spent running in circles for them would be better used finding a local private lender.

Double close, keep your profits private.

@John Galang need know property address details , possible purchase price / renovation your decision : private message or public form

In doing so, I have started forming a Private Lenders list and have started some basic conversations.  

Had to use private money, bought it cash.

Hey everyone at bigger pockets, I just want to tell you guys that it is true that when you have a true deal the money shows up by magic, it's there, but you must truly believe in what you are doing...I started flipping about a year ago, now I'm on flip #6 using a LOC from my home for repairs, but the purchase price for the houses my private investor brings it...it's true, but you must think, dream, and take BIG action.

We should start following the lead of countries like Germany that don't view private property ownership as a RIGHT.
