All interest rates and payment plans are custom made to work for both parties therefor creating a win win scenario.As far as partnering with the banks goes.

I'm now considering expanding my real estate ventures into building custom homes, but I know this is an entirely different beast between the required capital, learning curve, time committment, etc. 

Quote from @Karen Smith: With more investors turning to private money lenders for faster funding, what benefits have you seen from using private financing versus traditional bank loans? 

Hard money and private investing are both ways to finance flips, but they work a little differently.Hard money loans are typically from companies or private lenders that specialize in short-term, high-interest loans.

This doesn't come cheap--these folks were making high six to seven figures depending on volume.We focused on lending to professional real estate investors--so our customers were frequent repeat borrowers. 

There's other dialers out there that's more custom tailored to organizing calls, lead follow-up plus much more cost effective and honest with a live customer service line.

Belly to Belly is the best way for private money..

Quote from @Christian Solis: When looking for private money how do you guys properly present a fix and flip and how do you structure that deal so they are happy with there return on investment ?  

I'm looking to scale & use private lenders to expedite closing.

one thing is your lending your money way under what private money should charge. unless your just doing your friends a favor..
