Now I am getting into private lending/joint venturing.

Another option is to find some private money, it might be harder to come across but all you have to do is ask and network with other investors.

Even a newer 90s home you should easily be under 10k unless its a private home on land. 

Might have a private airplane hanger next to that airport, FEDEX might want an office-warehouse, where is the best place for the trash trucks to be parked or a recycling firm?

Also, some of the public schools are picking up, so the families want to move into the district to avoid the private school prices we all love.  

I have a friend how's trying (hard to sell) to sell this house on a dead end private street in natick MA, how can I judge that this house is worthy or not to invest, any investor interested on this location? 

In this current go around in REI after some problems early in my career, I have learned a few lessons - - I only buy in cash or borrow cheap short term cash from private investors for ~2 years- I now mostly owner finance so I do not have repairs- I work with experienced investor/agents who feed me good deals not usually on MLS. 

structure for investors.Feel free to send me a private message (and anyone reading this is welcome to do so as well), as I would be happy to schedule call to help any way that I can.

I've worked in the private lending and flip worlds for years and got a lead on some good interim financing from a private pension plan.

Msg me privately and I would be happy to share my experience and thoughts regarding these types of notes specifically.
