@Justin Goodrich I can speak for a lot of investors and say our biggest problems are out of our control. 

Oh and I am currently submitting various properties in Los Angeles to private and hard money lenders.

Nobody likes to work hard in the heat.The biggest concern in the past has been winter, but 2024 was the warmest year on record and we have seen +3F on average in every season, which really took the edge of winter (you can call it brown grass season now) while summers are pleasant 75-85F.The cost of living is low, yet the quality of live is relatively high.

If you’re looking to connect with private lenders, start by tapping into your existing network—friends, family, and colleagues can often be a great starting point.

The biggest challenge was addressing unforeseen structural issues, which ate into the budget.

I suspect that you'll have better luck with a local bank or private money, though it likely will still be challenging. 

I understand the concept how you have described your services above but the home was not "rent ready" or had the number of rooms advertised and that is the biggest issue here.Our contract was about a year ago and the reason why I am responding now is for two reasons 1) to warn other buyers and 2) because a potential buyer of yours actually reached out to me and suggested that I post my story on this platform.Keep on responding Katee.

I put the odds at 97% an investor does very well, 2% that through no fault of Praxis' the housing market and/or the economy enter a tail-spin due to inept political leadership at the highest levels, and 1% that Brian is the biggest fraud ever to fool me. 

Hello everyone, I have recently gone under contract on a property and was able to agree to a private loan with a family member to purchase and renovate.
