Another reason I like apartment complexes any vacancy does not usually hurt you like it would in a residential multifamily place would.Some Private Lenders will also lend to you including any repairs but I understand the importance of using a Bank to get a "house hacking" loan and its low down payment.. 

Hello, I want to enter into the private lending business.

It all started by listening to Joshua Dorkin's and Brandon Turner's advice; set up a profile, upload a picture and introduce yourself to the BP Community.I look forward to the next steps ahead: analyzing properties, viewing properties, further networking and speaking with the first private investor I have in mind.TL;DR   ****Newbies, start interacting with the community, the value you might find could change your career and life.

There are small private law offices in urban areas of Los Angeles whose primary source of income is taking 40% of the cut on 'cash for keys'  money from tenants who don't pay their rent.

Don't wait because then you can be talked into waiting and waiting some more.Think about the same scenario in stocks, almost all stocks are bought and sold nowhere near the very top or bottom of their price ranges during even a week much less a year.  

I want to have that house sold and be purchasing another one before 2019.

I had a some questions about private syndicates.

(One property sold for 168k right before the flood, and one is pending at 150k).

We use private funding to pay cash for properties and then refi out (BRRRR) into bank financing.

Could have sold it for more, I think, had they done that.I think you can get $400K for that house - just don't want to over-rehab it.
