PM me. I do some private lending. My criteria is simple: If this person stopped paying, and I had to take the property, would I be fine with that? If so, I do it. I don't care if the person has 800 credit or 0. If 'worse case' is I get a property that's worth more than my loan, it's 0 risk.
(I remember trying to refinance properties I had in cash when lending was difficult. Banks would give me all these objections. I'd be like "Then finance me at 50% LTV. Then if I don't pay, Merry Christmas to you". But none would. Idiots ;)
