I know most BP note investors deal in SFR notes exclusively, or at least mostly, and for myself 98% of my note investments are notes secured by commercial properties.  

@Mike Vu did you end up investing in one of his deals?

And private financing can be wise if you are a diligent investor, which it seems like you are:)*If I would have known then what I know now, I would have used my first loan to land the largest deal that I could have. 

So I do deal with one person or at least have that person I can email or call. 

With myself as an operator I would offer the following: underwriting the deals, a detailed scope of work, a detailed material list, the labor, and the management.  

They are a bad deal for homeowners and a terrible deal for rentals. 

Don't cut special deals to help a friend or act like a big shot.

I'd do it on a terms deal. 3yr in total. 

I have used united granitethey are in willow brook- more south west burbs but i’m sure he would travel. my guy is Oswaldo- DM me for contactyou gotta go to the warehouse to pic out your stone and he doesn’t do demohe charges $200 to provide the sink which is a deal i highly recommend

The deal doesn't work as well with higher interest rates.
