hello to all. i am looking for some information on a private lender listed here on BP. his name is tom woodward and his company is corporate funding group. just wondering if anyone has had any experiences with him and his organization. 

With my current financial position, the properties need to have at least 1.2 rent/value ratio or higher, be 75% of value, and $150k or less. if the numbers work out in the near future, i would like to start using hard money lenders for the down payment and closing costs on the properties, and purchase them traditionally. i would like for these properties to also have a 1.0 or higher rent/value, and with my current credit i can get approved for around $150k-$200k, so the property would need to be below that. once i fill up my 10 allowed traditional financing properties, then i would go hard money lenders for down payment / closing costs, and private financing for the long term. by that time though my own portfolio should be able to provide down payments in leu of hard money. your comments and positive feedback / critizism about my strategy going forward is appreciated. i am a brand new real estate investor, finishing up on my first hard money/refinance acquisition now, so im just getting started and looking to grow the portfolio quickly. thank you

Im not new to real estate but have just started playing the game again. Im in the Tulsa area. I have a few deals lined up and am looking for financing. I have a lender lined up already but I just want to see what else...

Hey guys,Hope all is going well I was curious I have some potential private lenders that will be investing with me but I am new to this private lending game?

@Charles Wiegert I partnered with private money (my cousin) for the initial nest egg which we are reusing.  

We are using a private contractor who is not pulling any permits.

Private loans are private loans and contracts are contracts, right?

But mostly private and hard money lenders to help fund my future projects I find.

I'd also get a text asking me to choose something, one which would save money.  

Awesome observation @JD Martin, but it will take me years to save up enough money to buy a house (even at 20% down) and then save up enough to fix it up.
