This was my experience with Constructive loans and @David N........  

Bait and switch and cost me money, learned my lesson and moved on to a reputable lender, already have my 3rd property under contact since February, they lost my business and any recommendations if ever asked.

Let me know if you hear anything, maybe that is a sign of how they do business or the fact that they are not doing business and no one is responding. Not surprised after my experience with them. 

Funny thing is I met with another local lender and we talked about where I was at in my investing and what my future goals are, they VP of lending I met with did some quick math and projected that we would be doing $2.5-3m in business together over the next few years as I achieve my goal. I never looked at it that way but I guess that is what Constructive Loans and @David N. will be giving up as I won't give them another penny of my money or one positive word since they refuse to make it right. 

Word of mouth is the best recommendation and they certainly won't have mine.....

Hi highly recommend Investors Title Services, they are underwritten by Fidelity Title and will provide the same services as the other title companies at a substantial savings. I have used them several times and they are focused primarily on investment properties and the owner @Joe Mueller is an investor himself and also owns TANIS Group Realty and runs a weekly REI meet up group as well.

Joe has been a mentor of mine and has become a personal friend, he won't steer you wrong.

There are also weekly meeting at TANIS Group Realty in Algonquin, which is owned and run by @Joe Mueller which I highly recommend and is not far from you at all.

Anyone on here try Constructive Loans or work with @David N.It seems like a bait and switch to me! 

All said and done it cost me an additional $2300 in fees for the HML that went past its maturity date plus the appraisal, all this could have been avoided if they told me they had an issue with my credit score from the beginning.

Also, it should be noted that my conventional broker was able to close the loan in 3 weeks and had no issues with my  credit with no points of course.  

Anyone else successfully and use Constructive Loans and been happy with them?

@Chris Mason you are right on, I had 3 properties on my schedule E that show 365 days but weren't, 1 was completed and rented June 1st, one was September 1st and the other was December 1st. 

How does that change the tax I owe, do you know? Probably not your area of expertise but was just wondering.
