The institionalized players typically have 100-200 BPS lower rates than standard hard money lending players but they're clunky and have lots of requirements its almost like the instituional HML should be called "hybrid hard money or hybrid bridge money," because of all these requirements.When we're working with those instutionalized players we usually have to do almost as much work as a conventional loan (1-4 fannie, not quite but almost as much).If you'd like to learn more about the different options or get a sounding board on what options are out there feel free to reach out and we can talk shop.

Gonna try my hardest not engage in a pointless political debate, but there goes, we actually have a real growing problem in our country in the fact that our birth rate is below replacement level, we also have a massive shortage of skilled and even unskilled labor which anyone in construction can attest to, now I’m not sure the current system of just chaos at the border is great, and I’d much perfer more legal immigration but one way or another we need more tax payers and more labor and we need to find a way to set up a system that encourages legal immigration and brings more skilled labor especially for trades and shores up social security and Medicare with a new tax base.
