Welcome to BP, @Account Closed !
I don't have a CPA for you, but I have connections with some hard money lenders who have better terms than all the local ones here. BP mods usually delete my posts when I post business names and contact info, so feel free to PM me.

Vestus is an Auction team. Eastside Funding is their Lending arm.
@Account Closed I would stay away from Eastside funding as I have been personally screwed over by their company. I use MBO NW. If you are interested in their contact info, send me a PM.

Hey @Account Closed I've got the name of a CPA in Tacoma. She works with a couple of the large brokerages in the neighborhood and comes very highly regarded. I haven't used her yet, but we had an initial meeting not too long ago and she will be my go-to when the time comes. PM me and I'll pass the info along!

I don't write hard money loans, but I keep my finger on the pulse of who does. The best terms and fees I have found are with Lendinghome. Check them out.

Hi @Account Closed
I think I'd would need to know more about your goals and your current financial strength to better answer this. In other words, bigger nationwide companies DO tend to have better rates, but require many more hoops to jump through in order to fund. This causes longer lead times/close times, possibly more "junk fees", personal guarantees, stricter repayment structures, etc. Local lenders on the other hand, maybe able to work with you better and be more open and receptive to working with newer investors (many nationwide lender don't work with new investors OR charge much higher rates). I would recommend going with a local lender that someone has a relationship with, so they can refer you based on their experience. Always look out for junk fees (need to ASK them specifically for ALL other fees), how interest rates are calculated (drawn portion only or full loan amount), prepayment penalties, extensions, etc. Hope this helps, good luck!
