Mls, broker or private portals like hubzu foreclosure.com and other ?

I suspect this is more for passive cap gain type stuff.. not ordinary income for those in the industry.. and or might work for the private individual who does this totally passive IE a broker brings them a note..

I want to rehab the whole exterior with new siding and trim. and remodel the kitchen and bath maybe get some new flooring in there nothing extensive.

I can’t get into specifics, but say you a personal connection to access private lenders through a private equity firm...what would you be doing? 

I have a few bucks kicking around and some private money guys as well. 

Either your cash, hard money cash, or private lender cash.

I have excellent credit, no debt and am new to private lending.

The other outlier is they are located on a private road and taxes are on the higher side.

Currently for Owner occupied I get 4.5 or below and 5-5.25 for investment properties with loans at 300K or higher, Check out a private local bank or chase who matches rates possibly.

The bank will want 20-25% of the total (purchase + renovation) costs as a down payment.Other options are to use a Hard Money Lender (HML) or private money.Other people just pay for it all in cash...
