My own cash, local community banks, & hard money.

Bring a local GC with you when you go so they can get a rough idea of a bid for renovation.

I have been a local home inspector for over 5 years(950 + Inspections) but getting ready to test my hand at Real Estate investing.

Hi Kevin, I would recommend going to local meets-ups.

Hey Martyn, we are in the process of moving closer to Ten Killer and was curious if you have found any local meet ups for investors?

I've already obtained a 5% down conventional pre-approval and am working with a local (Ann Arbor, MI), investor-friendly realtor to find deals.

Since I am not local and cannot have my boots on the ground I am looking at a turnkey who is local to this area.

Many hard money lenders are hesitant to provide loans solely for land acquisition, and conventional loans have been somewhat limiting, especially for land deals.What is best strategies for raising private funds. come to some of the meetups locally in knoxville. our next one is literally called where to find the money and will have a panel of private money lenders and capital raisers. 

As a local Realtor and investor in Branson, I've witnessed firsthand the ebb and flow of trends that shape our local real estate market.

Also ask in local meet ups like REIA meet us or the like about the best title companies to work with for investors.
