Does Being a G.C. count as Experience for Hard Money Loans ?

[Manuel Angeles]

This is a question to all of the hard money lenders :

If a Borrowers comes to you seeking a loan for a fix and flip,

and requesting high leverage (85% purchase, 100% rehab),

obviously you would need to vet Borrower's Experience.

What if the Borrower's Experience was being a General Contractor on their Past projects ?

If the Borrower wasn't on Title, or wasn't member of the Entities on Title,

Do You Approve the loan ?

How do you feel about Potential Borrowers coming to you with deals, 
But their Experience is only from being a General Contractor ?

Or their Experience was from 2005-2006 before the market crash ?

What is the best response to that ?
