I would buy into a couple of Multifamily syndication deals.

I can understand if you don't know the buyer and their lending situation, it is hard for you to vouch for their ability to close. 

could anyone recommend a Tulsa attorney who is "fluent" in private lending?  

If my buyer screws up I get to foreclose and own the house at a much lower cost basis so I'd win again if I have to back up my loan guarantee.Ask around in non-conventional lending circles if a broker has created long term wrapable funds. 

You should contact a local bank with a commercial lending department and start building a relationship with them now.

There has been a difficulty for individuals to obtain financial assistance if terms of funding on the web. maybe because of their credit score or past experiences with previous online lenders who promises a fast loan but in the end there seems to be no promising result. the wait for financial acquisition is over as James Carl is the answer to your financial funding as we are authorised to lend to the nation and worldwide.

With uncertainty right now in the market, I don't see the lending landscape improving in the near future.

@Tina EncarnacionIf the duplex is really worth 400k it should be easy to find a lender to lend you the 56k plus fees that are needed to buy and rehab this property.

What promised return would make you comfortable lending money to someone who has no experience and has no financial consequences if (when) they make a mistake?

As an investor, I'm always looking for good sources of funds, especially if I can share them with my lending clients and investing network.As a lender, I specialize in Ohio and the midwest.
