I’m new to private money lending, so while I understand the concepts in principle, I’m still figuring out how to identify and connect with these investors in practice.To clarify, I’m targeting 6+ unit multifamily properties, and private money is a way to scale my expertise from smaller properties into larger ones.

The term ADAPTIVE REUSE 2.0 is not a new concept but a new focus.

Quote from @Dana Yobst: Quote from @Julio Gonzalez: @Dana Yobst While it may seem like a simple concept, it's actually a very complex process that requires significant documentation as well as specific methodologies.

I love the concept. 

It's not a real common concept here in DFW area, but I love it.Buyers have no downtime, no rent rate risk, lower vacancy risk, potentially instant cash flow day 1. 

I didn't think it is necessarily a bad thing, just is more of a sales strategy than anything else.why do you think that the concept of investing in real estate with 0 money is an "idea" instead of a real thing. 

Check about the concept of "house hacking", many people start that way.

I recommend you contact Capital Concepts out of Las Colinas.

I found one who's strategies made sense, 10 years later my wife and I have been financial free for about 5 years now by leveraging the concept of house hacking. 

If you are limited to those areas for residency, and you choose to keep that job, you are going to have to either a) wait for a couple years and save up a heftier down-payment, b) change your strategy like you said and go for houses further away (do flips, STR or BRRR).Or, if you are sold on the house-hack concept, at some point you might have to look at a different job that allows you to move where house-hacking will work....
