Their backgrounds and niches within the note space vary - spanning from hard money to NPL 2nds and NPL 1sts. https://www.meetup.com/Orange-County-Real-Estate-Investors-Association-OCREIA/events/265877992/ I'm a fan of Michael Soliz, as well as Bill Tan who is the moderator.

Great advice @Joseph Landis I'm a big fan of the capital gains exclusions.

If your income changes or crap hits the fan and your credit drops or the housing market crashes again or something else happens, you may not be able to refi before your adjustable rate changes.

You might be a lender, an agent, a wholesaler, a contractor, or anyone else providing a service to real estate investors.You might have noticed, BiggerPockets is not a fan of salesy forum posts.Or private messages.Or anything else of that nature.Instead, our platform is built on providing REAL Value to investors - we want expert opinions on our forums, on our blog, and in our community.The good news here is that IF you can provide value, and do it the right way, and IF you can intelligently adapt your use of BiggerPockets to helping those who might be potential clients, you can do REALLY BIG business on our platform.And I've spent two years studying how it's done.If you would like to hear from me, and study successful sales professionals on BiggerPockets, I'd love if you would join me for a webinar coming up later today at 2:00 PM Mountain Time:"How to Use BiggerPockets to Do More Business and Build Your Brand"https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/8202868388585348609We'll talk about how to target discussions that are relevant to your business, how to find clients that need your assistance, how to appropriately go about building your network, and how to scale to do BIG business down the line.I hope you can join me!

I used to be a fan of 50/50 deals, but there are too many pitfalls that you can't cover on a contract, it's either I'll be only contractor, or I'll simply borrow. 40k with 625 on the line is not bad for 6 months, the way I compute it is, you can pay yourself as a hard money lender would charge you, then your contractor his fees (in case you have to fire him), and see if the deal is still feasible.
