Seems like a lot of effort for ($15000*0.03+$15000*.16/2) = $1,650.Divide $1650 by how many hours this will take, compare that to your normal day-job wage.That being said, if you want to get into private lending then it might make sense as a fairly low-risk (assuming you follow the advice of others in this thread) "learning experience," that's not crazy. 

I do have a private loan that’s now about 65% of what we paid.Thanks for any and all experience and knowlege!

I get them from my commercial bank at 1 point and 6.. but I had a bigger deal were I needed 7 mil and went shopping private and 2 and 12 to 4 and 14 is what I found for a dirt horizontal loan... but my bank came around and is going to do It for me.. 

I don’t have a good enough credit score to get a traditional mortgage (my credit history is not very old) so I’m pretty certain my best bet at getting started will be by working with a private/hard money lender.

As far as financing is a bank loan my best bet,, do private lenders or hard money ever fund high LTV for a buy and hold?

Find yourself a hard money lender, portfolio lender or private investor.

you should really not listen to post on here without doing your own investigation.

Except the borrower would need to put down approximately $500,000 minimum, and he doesn't have that.He does have a few other SFR properties, but can't sell them in time to make the deal work.I told him he needs a private investor, but it doesn't seem he's going to find this. 

I don't see why he wouldn't try to raise that remaining $120k privately, or go back to the bank. 

First you'll need 20% of the ARV to put down and then you'll need to reach out to private money lenders for the rest.
