I'm going back to private marketing to find my next deal. 

If I didn't have the money for this one,  I have a couple private lenders I would have run it by. 1 likes long-term (10yr fixed)  holds, the other likes 6 month turns.

If you're available this week or next, please send me a private message and we will coordinate.Looking forward to meeting!

Look up their NMLS or real estate broker license number for a good starting point that'll weed out 90% of the scammers.For NMLS, it's centralized: http://www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org/ Some private/HML type lending, depending on state, will be under the auspices of the state real estate broker licensing entity.

Please feel free to private message me for anyone who doesn’t wish to speak publicly.
