I would like to get Private Money Investors for Buy & Hold Investments .. but what is the standard ROI or deal structure for this type of funding?

If you are interested in a local mentor, please contact me through private message or email.

I bet you know more people upset at earning 0.1% right now than you think.Partnering with someone that has cash but no interest or knowledge in real estate might also be an option.If you can purchase a portfolio of properties at once (yes, it happens) it will likely find be easier to find a lender willing to fund these long term, than if you buy one SFR at a time.

How did the seller get 8% underwater on a NOO, did the market drop that far, 33% or did the seller cash out with private money dumping on them?

One way would be to identify some hard/private money lenders in your area.

I bet you can find a new tenant that would be happy with your rental.

But I bet if you could work "Not Legal In Tennessee!"

But it just so happens there is an EA here: me :)Your best bet is long term capital gains.

Google search and craigslist have helped me find a few lenders but also a few con men.Even my private lender wants me to fund 10% + closing costs.Is there some kind of way to make the original scenario work?

If you have a hardmoney lender or private funding or even money in the bank yourself a letter showing proof of funds from the financier will do.Kudos,Mary
