Helix is the way to go. Hard money is typically not offered for property you live in

@Chris Seveney my private money lender has encouraged me to share their information with other investors in Connecticut. I see no reason that benefits me in keeping this secret

Tenant will likely destroy your property prior to being evicted, what can a landlord do? They of course can take photos before and later sue the tenant in court for damages but might be unlikely to collect anything. So what some viable alternatives?

Do we dare ask the value of understanding cap rates and whether there are better measures to use?

My one question would be where can I find copies of all contracts and documents used by syndicators to study?

In my travels, I have found that private money lenders who use their own capital to be significantly cheaper than hard money lenders. For private money I have consistently received 10% interest with one point in origination and no other fees whereas hard money always piles on additional fees ranging from fees for applications, documentation and so on all at least a thousand dollars
I am curious if anyone had identified funding sources that are lower cost when compared to either private money lenders or hard money lenders such as Kiavi or Conventus?
