Would you lend money from TX to New York off BiggerPockets?
Just wanted to post a shout out to @Michael Ablan. He and I connected here on BP late last year, and we're both now richer for it with some valuable new experience to boot.
I was initially skeptical of doing a deal all the way in New York especially with someone I hadn't met in person, but Mike proved to be an absolute pleasure to work with.
We were looking at one deal with the VA as a seller, but like any government enterprise they proved difficult to work with. That one fell through, but Mike had another one ready to go immediately. Mike can fill in the details on that one if he wants!
Really happy with how everything turned out - Mike, hope the same goes for you! And thanks to BiggerPockets for making this possible!

@Tim Johnson so glad your deal worked out and BP is a great place to connect and network.
It would be helpful to know what steps you took to overcome your skepticism to send your funds to Mike.
