We are considering becoming a private lender with them and I am doing some background research on him and his companies and wondering if anyone has done any deals with them.

He is securing expensive debt, not debt through a bank, isn't putting any capital into the deal and structuring the equity investment in a highly risky manner without any upside offered to the investor.

Quote from @Benjamin Finney: I'm curious what real estate investors and private money lenders like myself use to inform their businesses strategy and predict future market conditions.

SupplyLas Vegas is unique because it is a tiny island of privately owned land in an ocean of federal land.

I think its because there are a lot of people pushing seller financing right now and private lending because most cannot make the numbers work on a property - so the gurus need something to be able to sell so its this is the flavor of the month. 

The lender lent based on them being one thing which secures the debt.

Ensure your flip profits exceed the LOC costs, maintain a financial buffer, and compare it to private or hard money loans.

For example, the most important job of a property manager is securing reliable tenants—those who stay for many years, always pay rent on time, and take good care of the property.

I had never heard of such a thing.. and most private flippers dont know it either So like on our subdivisions whatever LLC we own it in that LLC also has to have a developers license .. so  If you have multple subdivision going in multiple LLC you need multiple developers licenses.. where this can stymie some folks  NOT EVERYONE can qualify for a Bond.

If you're living in it now, you'll probably be required to have a signed lease in place as well as proof that first month's rent/security deposit were collected in order to get a DSCR loan (they're business purpose loans and don't allow owner occupancy).
