@Jonathan Blanco, I'm and investor and a licensed mortgage broker so I've been on both sides of this conversation.I would look for a lender that (1) listens to you and understands your strategy and needs (hint: it's not always money), (2) has experience working with clients executing your strategy and brings more to the table than just cash - be it advice, relationships, deal-team partners, etc., (3) gives you viable options and explains the pros and cons of each option and (4) you enjoy interacting with - this should be a relationship, not a transaction.Once you find a few lenders like this (and you should have relationships with more than one), then you can start comparing rates and fees.

I’ve done a lot of research on these projects, so feel free to ask any questions here.

Our cash on cash return is essentially infinite as we make money on the delta between the yield of the discounted note that we purchase and the interest rate we pay to our passive private capital partners. 

My problem is that this house has a negative cash flow. 

I spoke to another guy at a conference who used to build 1-3 units before doing commercial and he said he wishes he still did the single family because it generates a lot of cash and is pretty simple. 

Because real estate always goes up and the maintenance fairy takes care of all repairs free of charge.Seems like a recipe for disaster.
