Private sellers i'd wager it could make a difference but asset managers don't care too much beyond 10%

With only 1% of the population having served, the general population may need a refresher on how easily leadership skills transfer to the private sector.

As any newer real estate business we are always looking for private lenders, investor and real estate professionals to network with. 

You can also go hard money or private money if you don't have cash and purchase a property that has a decent amount of equity, and rate and term refinance the loan without any seasoning.

Those offer private "offices", or cubicles to work from and some personal support from business consultants and experienced startup teams focused on raising money.Personally, I like the idea of charging a flat membership fee monthly, allowing some free use of the space, and charging for more advanced services like catering, private conference rooms, consulting, tax and accounting etc.

Feel free to private message me as well.

Private message me if you are interested in more detailed conversations.

You can go the route of private financing and rate and term refinance that if the property is taken off the market.

I was able to secure a hard money lender, but having difficulty in finding a private lender.

I would probably cover the difference out of pocket, or use private lending at 5% with a 5 year pay-off.
