Any help finding private investors would be great...also, are there any good websites that I can advertise on?

Douglas - If the post was moved without your having 10 posts already, you got lucky; we typically remove any ad posts until the user gets the 10 posts required.You can of course bypass the 10 post rule by upgrading your account to a PRO account.I don't see us letting up on the 10 post requirement any time soon, and in fact, have considered more stringent requirements for some of our advertising forums.

I also have been seeing hard money lenders advertising financing for real estate projects.

ALL will require a proof of funds, lest they file it under "F"... for "Forget it".I'm not saying don't try with the $20 EM trick, I'm just saying it may not work as advertised in the course you took.Oh, and PS - I hope you've seen a proof of funds from your end buyer in the form of a bank statement, and that you've verified it to the best of your ability.

How soon before should I start advertising for buyers?

The most successful one I know created a group and they all market for the same price, and use the same numbers across all of their advertising.

They don't advertise it much, but they will give it to you if you ask.So if you are not a veteran, ask a vet to buy the stuff for you!

That 20% includes all soft costs...interest, insurance, utilities, advertising, hard money fees, closing costs at purchase and sale, real estate commissions, homewarranty, etc.

Hello Kenyatta,Your question is a bit interesting, but I will give it a go and hope it helps you.First, PEMCO, etc. are legal entities/organizations that HUD has legally contracted with to market, advertise, sell, etc. the properties that are assigned to them.

I would not start with building a buyers list, once you find a good deal, the buyers will find you off of your advertising.
