I'm assuming you're targeting grad students/young professionals?  

I am new to real estate so I would be very greatfu for some professional feed back.

Any comments/recommendations as to whether or not I should go hard money or try to find a private money lender as you did?

Looking to connect with private money for multi-families.

I would guess it could be done but you should really talk with a mortgage professional before taking that leap of faith.

Hi Everyone, I'm looking to partner with a private lender for a buy and flip property.

I will be taking a little pause (about 3 months off) around Christmas or New Years for the birth of my first child and for some stuff I need to do professionally, but I plan on getting back at it next summer and having those 2 units completely up and running by the beginning of May 2018.  

I am open to both private and hard money lenders.  

Not to mention you also have much more flexibility with the tax code.Other options would be to buy better cash-flowing rentals (tough in this market), qualify your spouse as a real estate professional, or sell the property.
