Trying to learn about hard money ,and private investors in buying new properties! 

I have 20k in liquid cash funds and probably about double if I sold my investments.

At that point it could be sold for FMV tax free or kept as a rental or whatever the heir wants to do including moving in there. 

You could buy stage zero say for 200's and by the time stage 4 the last few homes are being sold prices are now in 300's.

This is what it sounds like you're trying to do, and you will likely need a securities lawyer to draft the Private Placement Memorandum (PPM). 

It has been often suggested here and elsewhere to pursue something that keeps a toe in the water of the working world, as it limits the downside risks, and could turn into a fruitful enterprise for post-retirement.At the request of a friend and BP associate, I've been asked to provide expert opinion and electrical analysis on residential properties that are either on the market, or recently sold through his brokerage, as there are many customers who want a deeper look at their electrical system, deeper than what a typical home inspector will do, but they are not ready to ask a contractor to come out and simply give a blank check to 'fix whatever's wrong' (famous last words).

They plan on moving into their travel trailer and seeing the country as soon as the property is sold. 

This would certainly be true of any loan that is backed by / sold to the FHA.

So, can you tell me your type of loan, like:traditional mortgage types (FHA, VA, conventional)hard moneycommercial mortgage (like a portfolio loan or secondary market commercial)private moneyHELOC Seller financingPersonal savingsIf you did a BRRRR deal, you can list both the purchase and refinance source.And if it was a traditional mortgage, hard money, or conventional mortgage - what company did you use to originate the loan?
