Hey, I’m looking to connect and network with private individuals who lend money on real estate deals.

From day one I treated my involvement in real estate as a real business.This means, I had an advertising budget, a lead generating and follow up process, a back end process and money source and above all an experienced mentor.  

Typically, if they can make it work as an STR they go that route because it almost always generates the most revenue.

This generated $2M+ in equity, and thus is highly lucrative, but takes 2-3 years.Note worthy: I am located in California, but I did this project in Canada.

But maybe your tenant reaching out and mentioning that they're going to be forced to file a police report for fraud could generate some traction...obviously the real objective here is to just get the seller to call you back...

There are certain areas of KC that play more towards appreciation and there are off market deals that generate good cash flow and appreciation. 

Equity Created: $550,000 ARV - $409,000 loan balance = $141,000 in equity.Cash Flow: The property rents for $2,950/month, covering all expenses and generating slight positive cash flow.HELOC Potential: Post-refi, I can secure a HELOC up to $86,000 (90% LTV) to fund future investments.

Currently still favor the house rental for MTR and long term strategy in ABQ, but I don't think you generate any solid cash flow unless you can get a turnkey 2BR for under $250K.

Best you can do is individually pull title on properties. 

HELOCs are not available because they are residential loans guaranteed by individuals and what you seek is a type of commercial loan or credit line which are available to seasoned companies with proven financial track record.
