In doing so, I have started forming a Private Lenders list and have started some basic conversations.  

One criteria where you are required to reveal is the reason is if it is based on credit.  

Had to use private money, bought it cash.

Hey everyone at bigger pockets, I just want to tell you guys that it is true that when you have a true deal the money shows up by magic, it's there, but you must truly believe in what you are doing...I started flipping about a year ago, now I'm on flip #6 using a LOC from my home for repairs, but the purchase price for the houses my private investor brings it...it's true, but you must think, dream, and take BIG action.

We should start following the lead of countries like Germany that don't view private property ownership as a RIGHT.

Keywords to improve reach: wholesale, wholesaling, newbie, SD, southern California, so cal, landlord, turn-key, out-of-state, cash buyers, hard money, private money, private lending, multi-family, direct mail marketing, door knocking, probate, evictions, tenants.  

If I am able to get funds for a property from a private investor, but it is short term funds and I need to pay them off in less than a year, what are my options to refinance other than a conventional bank? 

Did you get any Private Money or Any other Funding,like not putting (no money down )?

Or should I find private money?

Removing wallpaper, painting, taking up carpet to reveal hardwood floors in good shape, updating lighting, door knobs, front doors, and landscaping are all good investments that pay back a great deal, and might not cost nearly as much as you think.
