Hey @Jace Perry
What I've found is the best HML tends to be pretty subjective on the deal itself.
For example, the right HML for a heavy rehab in Detroit is likely going to be different than the right HML for a cosmetic rehab out in Greenville. As you start to scale, knowing and understanding the nuances of the deal and the 'boxes' that the lenders tend to operate under is really important for the market that you are wanting to invest in.
For example, I know ES and Conventus will hit you with either shorter terms (6 months) or minimum purchase price amounts that might dictate whether you have to say 'no' to a deal whereas another group might be a better fit.
I have found that this is why having a good broker in the space can be advantageous, especially before (or if) a PML comes into play.
Obviously having an individual who will fund whatever deal you want to pursue is going to be WAAAAY better than anything you will find anywhere else. But as @Andrew Syrios states, it is definitely worth it, but it takes time.
I hope that helps, good luck!
