Hard Money vs Private Money Option for REI
I am a licensed General, Building and Plumbing contractor in the state of Florida. I have recently built and sold a successful plumbing company here locally and am looking to get back to my roots in the residential housing market. I am looking to start flipping some residential properties or possibly spec build. I have some cash available to put "skin" in the game. My question and what I am looking for in the best option for myself as I am doing consulting as a 1099 and don't have a W2 income. What are my best moves finding a money source? Looking to start slow and am open to a money partner on deals, just wanted to see what others have done in my situation. Any help or insight is greatly appreciated!
