Private money partnersIf you have a solid track record, private lenders will often fund your next deal based on the plan and exit.

.: Quote from @Chris Seveney: Quote from @Michael Santeusanio: Private funding has become a big part of how investors scale their portfolios.If you’ve raised or used private money, what tips would you give to someone just starting out? 

Also, is the lender a true private individual or a more well known firm?

Quote from @Stephanie Deppe: I’m interested in opening a self directed IRA to invest in real estate—perhaps as a private money lender or funding my own property acquisitions.

So what do actual recent sold comps tell you the value of a duplex in the area is? 

There is NO lender, NO private investors, it's all FRAUD!

If they're a private lender, or a small HML with loose underwriting guidelines, their borrowers will definitely feel it. 

Quote from @Steve Dorian: Would you consider using private money infusion in your investment properties?

-Townhome and condominium sales were down 9.3% with 438 units sold.

I figure instead of a private loan, 70% sounded pretty appealing.
