RAISING PRIVATE MONE, WHAT NOT TO DO!!!

[Coty Dolan]

Hello BP Family!

I am now onto my next project and based on inspiration from the BiggerPockets Podcast I want to start raising private money for my deals, now that I have a track record and can show investors I know what I am doing. 

I am curious to hear any and all stories of the first time you sought to use private money? 

What were your BIGGEST OBSTACLES?  WORST EXPERIENCES? WHAT NOT TO DO?  and of course SUCCESS STORIES! from the first time you used private money for a deal. 

Thank you all for the sharing!!!
