How to Buy Real Estate WITHOUT the Banks (Private Money 101)

You want to invest in real estate, but you don’t have the money. Are you out of luck? Good news-money is NOT a dealbreaker. There are several levers you can pull to get the capital you need, and today’s guest is going to share them with you!
Welcome back to the “Real Estate Rookie” podcast! Shortly after being cut, former professional football player Darnell Leslie was determined to try his hand at real estate investing. There was only one problem: he needed money. But, after convincing some family members to partner with him, Darnell quickly realized that he could use other people’s money to fund ALL of his real estate deals. He started building his network and found private money and hard money lenders, using a polished private capital “pitch” to bring them on board. Over the last few years, he has completed five deals using very little of his own money!
Is money the ONE thing stopping you from buying real estate? In this episode, you’ll learn everything you need to know to start using other people’s money instead. From structuring private money and hard money agreements to buying materials for your renovation projects, Darnell walks you through each step!

Awesome stuff! Stabilizing existing properties and focusing on operations can effectively increase revenue.

I always give my private lenders a deed of trust and file a lein. Never lend without doing that.

[@darnelljamar]

What about a promissory note ad adding them on the title insurance?
