I have been looking at local private lenders, too. 

Speaking to an asset protection attorney about this where you can discuss your personal assets and business assets in a private conversation might be something you would want to look into.

My first deal came from the thousands of postcards that I mailed out to private note sellers in TX.

Overleveraging by paying too much for the property mixed with mixing hard money with private money for a 100%+ LTV at the beginning of the deal.

@Tom Dean - alright private message sent! 

Also, depending on your network from BPCON, see if anyone has connections to private lenders willing to do higher leverage, especially for strong deals like yours with a solid ARV.

Investment Info:Other private money loan investment in Randalia.

I recently started working in the private hard money area of Real Estate.Currently I work with a hard money lender based out of LA and we focus on mortgages, commercial, and anything business purpose related.

As a private asset based lender we often see loans that institutional lenders have turned down.
