Lending Against Notes In Chicago

[Charles Worth]

Does anyone know about or have any advice related to obtaining financing using private loans as collateral when your total portfolio is going to be below a few million but you have enough assets and liquidity to support the loan?  I know in the old days a lot of banks used to do this but it seems most of them stopped during the crisis and new regulations have not helped. Curious if anyone else is doing this or has any leads for the Chicago area.
