Ways to Improve the Hard Money Industry

[Justin Thompson]

(Didn't get much traction on this in the Marketplace, so I thought I'd move it over to the forum!)

Hi all,

This is going out to all real estate investors who have utilized Hard Money in their deals.

In what way can the hard money industry be improved? (other than rates of course, everyone wants those as low as possible!). It's a New Year, and with that we're trying to be the best around, what other services can be provided to help real estate investors throughout the entire process?

Any input would be fantastic.

Thanks all!

Justin Thompson, the reason that you didn't get much "traction" is because as in your previous posts you are attempting to use Biggerpockets as an advertising medium for the hard money lender you represent, rather than becoming a contributor to the community.

There are many hard money lenders on this site who have spent years participating, communicating, answering questions, etc, with members. Coming in unknown, announcing that you are "revolutionizing" the industry, and asking a thinly disguised leading "question" so you can promote your business is an obvious ploy most experienced members see through.

If you do have knowledge of the hard money lending industry, taking your time to answer questions, providing unbiased information and sharing your knowledge will go a much longer way to promoting your company than your current "non" participation.
