There's a house two door down that sold for $710,000 that's only a couple hundred square feet larger than ours. there are other houses in the neighborhood that sold around $500,000 to $550,000. thanks for your help!! 

Then I find out a week ago they sold the property at a loss, ALL my capital is gone, and Ken McElroy goes on his merry way making youtube videos about how much money he is making. 

Traditional lenders have their place, but many successful investors use private money as a flexible alternative.Private money lending is essentially relationship-based financing — where individuals or small groups fund deals based on trust, experience, and the property’s potential rather than just credit scores or bank rules.

In our case, with the 6 unit apartment building we ended up losing about $100,000 because the market softened substantially (this was 2022) and the commercial lenders required a 1.3 DSCR while rates were rising so the amount of equity we had to leave in the deal to cash out our bridge financing was just way too high to make sense... so we just sold it and licked our wounds.Have you connected with Vontive?

How can I privately message you? 

But yes, private flood is still alive and well, and often provides higher coverage limits and shorter wait times to bind.

D32 Builder has not sold my lot yet, which is 228.

Seeking private money can be intimidating!

I don't know how long you've been in the industry, but if it sounds too good to be true, it usually is, especially when there is so much scam stuff happening in the hard/private money side of things still. 

If you want something different, then you need to privately own and maintain then which means State law says these likely come under an HOA.
