A good first step is studying recent cash transactions in the neighborhoods you want to target — that helps you understand who’s actively buying and what they’re paying.

We’ve found that focusing on specific transactions and questions doesn’t deliver clients the same results that a holistic approach to wealth and tax strategy does.

It may be worth spending 5k-10k on a transactional real estate attorney for this. 

It's not private money but Mach1 Lending is very well respected in the SEWI market as hard money lenders who are more like partners in the transaction (not in an overbearing way...but easy to talk to, helpful).  

I am referring to lenders who will lend to real estate titled to entities but won't finance your transactions because your entity structure is unnecessarily complexed or your organization documents look like they were prepared by a 3rd grader.8.

Potential conflicts of interest.If they source the deal, fund it, and close it, they're on all sides of the transaction.

Dropping price should be the last metric to consider for getting it booked.
