hey guys.  i was just reading over some forums on here, and ran across a few flippers that say they use private money.  i have been nervous about ever doing that.  up to this point, i have used conventional financing ...

If you're able to find alternative financing, I would look at those first, but it did work.Kyle

Does anyone have any concerns or more profitable alternatives to this plan?

These possibilities may provide incentives to these individuals to pursue an internalization transaction, even if an alternative strategy might otherwise be in our shareholder’s best interests.

An alternative is to simply expand the area for the multi-family search and/or expand the time frame.

2) As a second alternative I suppose since this contractor would be no relation to me at all I could loan him the money from my SDIRA for purchase and rehab but structure the loan paper to share profits in some way upon sale again 80/20 for examle?  

Classic negotiation saying, know your BATNA - best alternative to negotiated agreement. 

My favorite is the Black Diamond meeting in Waltham (alternates every other month with their Worcester location, next Waltham meeting is in July).
