It probably needs a new roof, there might be a water leak, and it's a HUD home, so I probably need a private lender.

Private house inspector?  

99.9% of all off-market/wholesale deals are done with either cash or hard/private money only.

I am a private money lender and I work with them often as we refer back and forth.

You could then borrow a specific amount from a private lender instead of asking them to co-sign the whole thing.Collateral for this loan will have to be against other property you own but may be a better option for you and them.

Hello! I am Stephanie Kingsberry and I am EXCITED about my new life changing commitment to Wholesale, Flip, Fix and Acquire Real Estate!Please advise on how to obtain local lenders. I have properties I am eager to buy...

I plan to stat by using my personal money along with some private money to BRRRR.

Ho long they have known them, whether you think they would be good renters, would you consider them responsible, ask them about their work,  verify they don't have pets, try to string together 10 questions, some of which are just more conversational.

LOTS Of fake lenders work BP  face book linkdin etc.if you cant find anything on them I suspect you may have run into a fake.the telling clue will be1. rates too good to really be true or lower than industry norm2. too quick to approve you..3. they want a modest deposit up front and give some BS reason why the want it.4. no website ( although many fraudsters have generic websites website alone does not mean anything.5. check on licensing.. there are only about 12 states that require licesnes. not sure about our state thoughBut I would say 95% if you cant find anything on them.. and any of the things I said above are what they are telling you,, cheap rates small up front deposit.. probably not real and you will just lose your 500.00 bucks or whateverOh the other great one is you have to buy an insurance policy because your new or a little weak on the financial side.. there are NO insurance policies for private loans if you fail to pay.. that's just another fraudulent payment to a non exisitant entity.real estate lending has become the new Nigerian prince scam..

So I guess that’s where I need help is learning more about private lenders.
