Private lender loan structure
It seems that all private lenders offer the same program. Finance upto 80-90% purchase price plus upto 90-100% rehab. Interest only with 2-3 points at closing capped at 65-75% ARV. Some have less red tapes than others and some call their loans lines of credits, but at the end of the day it's still the same loan product. Is this the norm or has anyone actually worked with someone that truly offers a real line of credit without all the red tape.

Also, technically, what you describe is actually referred to as HML - Hard Money Lender. PML - Private Money Lender refers to private individuals, not businesses/banks, but just people with money to lend. Those terms are not the same virtually ever. It's whatever the two of you agree to.
