Feel free to reach out and we can chat about private lending.

What is your mentorship experience and background?

You'll likely need a higher down payment if you can find anyone willing to finance something like this as a first time investor; many require some level of rehab experience at the very least.

I'm here to connect with fellow investors, share my expertise, and learn from your experiences.

I'm looking to connect with local investors, agents, lenders, property managers and contractors who have experience in these areas. :-) 

Feel free to reach out if you need anything!

When you specifically mentioned STR experience and the possibility of something with some added "personal value" bells started going off. 

If you're active in the market or have any advice, I’d be grateful to learn from your experience!

@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.

Just because someone has experience doesn't mean that a local meetup would not be helpful.
