Act as if you were still renting - whatever you were paying in rent, make sure you save that money.

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

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

I did all the work myself to save money and completed those units this past May.  

I am open to both private and hard money lenders.  

This is much better than realizing any temporary tax savings like contributing to a traditional IRA or 401(k).

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!
