Lightstream.com - Reviews/ Recommendations?

I posted about a deal I need $85k for (purchase and renovations) in "Starting Out" and I'm thinking of trying this company Lightstream. They say they loan up to $100k, and do loan for remodels.

Do you or anyone you know have experience with this company? 

They do not offer to finance the purchase of homes, and if they check the title they might wonder. I do read that they do not do collateral, though, so it might work? The deal is definitely worth the headache of a hard money lender like this.

And anyone else have experience they want to share, maybe with their "Home remodel" option?

 we did the home remodel one.
