The money is just as good as technical fields and you can actually do / build / contribute something to the world.

I’m looking to get private money lending to purchase a property and I do have ones who may help but nothing is etched in stone yet. 

Hello, I recently bought a small store just outside of LA, and my accountant was telling me if I wanted to save some money on my income taxes for next tax season, I should consider a Cost Segregation Study.

Your money can be the emergency money and also used to start the rehab and remodel and get your money back as you complete your project. 

Personally I feel he earned it that’s his money.

And if someone is very successful in real estate they would not have time to mentor someone, especially someone they do not know and do not interview to judge if they think they are a right fit (and just take your money)

You could sell for cash even for $20k less and put that money into private lending and get 10-12% which over 15 or 20 years would crush the returns you would get with this deal.

It would even shock people without money problems, that's a $5400 a year hit... 

(After I sought to be redeemed, I learned 19 of the 20 original investors got their money back out of the refinance.)

I have the money saved for the rehab but I would apply for a loan to cover the majority of the rehab and use savings for future repairs.
