Financing First Development Project

[Jordan Elijah]

Hello all, 

I need a bit of insight, I know how they say financing your first deal can be the most stressful but I am a bit apprehensive about how the credit conversation will play out with the lender due to my personal credit being a bit challenged (not by my own doing, and no bankruptcies) but my business credit is great. I understand financing is only one of many steps to develop but it is an essential one. How did you guys get your first development deal financed with or without credit challenges?
