I am new to real estate so I would be very greatfu for some professional feed back.

Any comments/recommendations as to whether or not I should go hard money or try to find a private money lender as you did?

Looking to connect with private money for multi-families.

I would guess it could be done but you should really talk with a mortgage professional before taking that leap of faith.

Hi Everyone, I'm looking to partner with a private lender for a buy and flip property.

I will be taking a little pause (about 3 months off) around Christmas or New Years for the birth of my first child and for some stuff I need to do professionally, but I plan on getting back at it next summer and having those 2 units completely up and running by the beginning of May 2018.  

I am open to both private and hard money lenders.  

Not to mention you also have much more flexibility with the tax code.Other options would be to buy better cash-flowing rentals (tough in this market), qualify your spouse as a real estate professional, or sell the property.

I haven't done any crowdfunding ( though I would be interested to see how it works for you).There are other ways to raise money though.....Loans,Partnerships, private money, hard money, etc.If I were you (and this is just my advice so take it or leave it) I would find a partner with money, offer to do the sweat equity.....put together the deal, maintain the property, manage the books, etc and let him just give you the money.Hope this helps....keep us updated!
