I'm wondering how other investors find private money for a good cash flowing deal.

I stumbled apon a seemingly great deal when purchasing a car from a private seller who was leaving the country.

I wanted to find a property that I could airbnb one unit and live in a private unit.

We put the property under contract with private money; and, I have spoken with some conventional financing options that I have used before that have told me that we can do a delayed closing as soon as we are done.My question, more specifically, is based on the fact that real estate has gone up since our proposal. 

Anyways, a private lender I spoke to mentioned that, if I rent to family, that rental income would not be able to be used for future mortgage qualifications, whether that be for future single family or new investment property.

A HELOC can be used to qualify you for a private mortgage.I would focus on finding flips or a BRRR.

So I believe it's well known that when you're starting out in REI you should start out doing everything as a private person, not a business.

Make sure you have a competent attorney that understands time is of the essence to motivated, private investors.We stay on top of our files & make sure our attorneys are getting things done as quickly as possible.

He's set up my series LLC, drafted private loan docs, etc., and I don't have any complaints.

We are currently slamming everything onto my spouses private student loan (just refinanced it down to 4.1%) to save on interest and get it paid down as fast as possible.
