Hello BP!I have a family friend that is loaning me some money to do a flip, but I don't know how to structure the paperwork for the loan. Can somebody point me in the right direction of where I might find some sample ...

In reality, most things on the MLS come in close to retail - even in a trashed state - because, well, people are buying them.Your best course of action in many areas now is private marketing where you can maybe catch someone at the front end of a distressed situation that wants to get out NOW, and you can likely negotiate closer to 56-70% of After-Repair-Value (ARV).

We have cash and lines of credit along with private money and are looking to help people add homeownership to their lives by helping them qualify and at the same time supply them the homes to live in.  

Anyone in Western Mass or surrounding areas know of any private lenders ?

Hello,I'm gearing towards making my first deal for buy and hold and I have come up with two different approaches to make this happen in my market, Los Angeles area.Scenario 1) Buying a fourplex with a 203k Loan locking in today's low interest ratesScenario 2) Buying a fourplex using a private money lender, rehabbing it and refinance using an FHA loanA couple things to consider are low money down available, access to contractors at good prices and time availability to use this BRRRR approach.What are your thoughts on this?

@Jeremy Pace Yes the utilities are separated and those are the common areas (which I think is high).Some others have private messaged me (thanks!)

It's not hard money, it's not private funds, it's not a scam, it's not a phishing site (we've been called everything in the book, trust me)...it's yet another funding source fulfilled by a company with a A+ BBB rating that's been around since 2008. 

I've of course researched other options such as private lending, owner financing, FHA house hack, etc..., but thought it might be interesting to see what routes other investors have taken when faced with this situation.  

Second, don't go to a cash buyer or hard money lender or private lender until you already have the deal and you're sure everything looks good.  

Hey fellow BP members,I am a newer RE investor and am looking for a private money partner in the Springfield,Mo area.I have done one flip, thus far.
