Raise Capital, Private Money, First Deal.

[Account Closed]

I have been investing since 2007 with my family, we used own our money to buy our first property, and then our second property which is a triplex using creative financing (we literally don't paid any money, just the attorney expenses, because the previous owner couldn't pay the mortgage anymore). Now I want to start investing without my family and using private money, I have been taking some webinars about raising capital and I'm kinda lost preparing deals, analysing properties and finding private lenders. I want to buy & hold or buy, fix & hold in multi-family. Any recommendations?

P.S I have good credit, but I just don't want to deal with banks or hard money lenders.
