Waiting for the right property takes patience, and with us having 3 right now (all under personal loans) we are at a crossroads for how we are going to finance the next one.Hard Money / Private Money / commercial lending........ just a lot of ways to go at this point.

Hi Dev,  thanks for the shout out.Ok ok, I coach lease option assignments, AITDs (All Inclusive Trust Deeds, sub2, private lending marketing, jv negotiations, sandwich lease options, wholesaling, retailing, wholetailing, and business scaling.I recommend my students get licensed in CA as the BRE of CA prefers that.See http://dredefenselawyer.com/california-bureau-of-r...Quote...."

Over seven figures of income to my bottom line and millions of dollars in private capital invested in my business can be directly traced back to BP.  

If all you are looking for is yield, then just be a private lender and lend money.  

Networking in professional clubs along with friends, relatives and church groups, can also be a source to find private lending money.

I hear “speakers” talk about borrowing Private or Hard Money to finance a deal and not to worry because “the property stands for the debt”.

It's by private email.  

Her moms idea is to let it go into foreclosure then buy it back when it goes to a short-sale with a private lenders money (which I have) but I think this is a huge risk because, correct me if I'm wrong, but once it goes into a short-sale anyone can buy it and I'm sure we would be going up against experienced and knowledgeable investors that would get it before us.

New to REI....Does this sound like a good way to start slow with a low monetary investment?  The deal presented...  an investor will invest  $10,000 and own 25%of the  home. The monthly returns are based on the amount...

We have used a website called buildasign.com to make a lot of signs before.They are pretty cheap.Just an FYI don't get yourself in trouble placing signs all over public property or private property you do not have permission to use.
