As both an investor and a broker, I’ve worked with a variety of lenders, and while many are solid, some have issues—whether it’s delayed closings, surprise fees, or poor communication.I’m curious to hear from the community: have you had any bad experiences with lenders that we should all be aware of?

I deliver a first rate, top of market product and rarely do I see my properties sit longer than a few weeks. 

This is because it was poorly converted, improperly done, "patched up" over time, and might have mixed up mechanicals etc.

They will have a Jumbo product with 10% down with no reserve requirement up to $2,000,000

The support was solid, and the biweekly meetings were productive.

Start talking to local lenders and see what kind of products they have for construction/ rehab loans.

The government saw the housing bubble and changed guidlines with fannie and freddie to make the 10 down / 2nd home loan product very expensive (about 4 points to close).

To avoid going through the same poor experience, keep reading.Even if someone gives you a referral here, do NOT make the mistake of assuming that the PMC will meet your expectations, just because they met the expectations of the referral source.In our experience, the #1 mistake owners make when selecting a Property Management Company (PMC) is ASSUMING instead of CONFIRMING.It's often a case of not doing enough research, as they don't know what they don't know!

It sounds like you're getting a realtor leasing agent, which I have almost always seen end poorly.
