If anyone has tips and tricks for finding private investors please share them with me. thanks! 

Of course there are no shortage of wholesalers who simply don't know how to run numbers but the core issue, I believe, stems from low quality education in the space.I see a similar issue with newbie investor borrowers.

This gives you time to:Collect guaranteed cash flow while you find the right long-term tenant.Avoid the stress of rushed leasing decisions just to cover expenses.Potentially exit the property after the leaseback period with no loss from initial vacancy.So, the “vacancy risk” being eliminated is that period of uncertainty where an investor might otherwise carry costs without rental income.

If starting out as a new investor, with no or low prior experience.

You took a significant first step in seeking other investors.

The benefits of meeting other investors are well worth it.

Lots of investors lack taste when putting things out on the market.

As mentioned by others, there are a few things to take into account.Here are the financing options and requirements based on the # of units:2-4 unit - Residential propertyMin 20% downDSCR 1.0+ (lower DSCR with higher down payment)No experience OR net worth requirement2-8 unit mixed use (commercial space can't exceed 49%)Min 25% downDSCR 1.2+Need to have investor experience of at least 1 yrNo net worth requirement5-10 unit - Residential propertyMin 25% downDSCR 1.2+No experience OR net worth requirement 10+ unit - Residential property (mixed used is possible)Min 20% downDSCR - Dependent on market size - can range from 1.25 - 1.5+At least 1 sponsor has to have investor experience - multi-unit of approx similar size OR multiple smaller multi units adding up to at least 12 unitsCombined net worth of all sponsors should be greater than the loan amount - this is after the down payment and closing costs, and not counting equity in primary.

I am an active investor. 

I’ve seen plenty of successful BRRRR deals where investors are able to pull all their capital back out—particularly in states like Ohio, West Virginia, Alabama, and even certain pockets of North Carolina.
