Private money lenders?

I've spent my career working in acquisitions and asset management for various REITs, brokerage firms, and small private equity shops and now want to do real estate for myself.  

I was thinking, even if you "Cash out" on the property with less favorable terms on property number 7, through the discussed bank, or some other private financing, or hard money route. 

good to have you here @Thomas FranklinIn additition, study Joint Venture Partnerships and Private IRA Lenders.

There are a few different ways to go about either 1. getting the existing tenants out a little more constructively  (and much less risky/problematic for you) prior to closing or 2. finding properties that have already been vacated.Feel free to send me a PM (private message) if you have any other questions or would like to discuss this further.

I think I've heard of a strategy like this and I like it: use their private money, give them a return on their money for 5 years and at the end of those 5 years you guys refi it and you take over their property. 

I got my business license & some private money to start.

HI I am looking for a lender that will refi upto 70%LTV for a property that has be seasoned for less than 1 year.  I am looking for a quicker option to cash out my original investment so I can quickly acquire another....

Hard money might be my next best option right now other than private lenders.
