This particular property was within 100 miles of me, so I was under the impression that an FHA loan would not work, is that correct?

Have you selected the market, return criteria, etc.? 

Your experience is impressive! 

of course NOT all but enough to make an impression on me.

I own my own brokerage so I can do what I want, and my agents are intelligent enough to do what they want without my permission, but I have a small team of very select agents. 

Obviously, based on my relationship with the company, I'm not unbiased, but most people here on BiggerPockets know that I value my reputation above all, and when I agreed to join FTF as an advisor a couple years ago, it was because I was very impressed not only with their business model and underwriting guidelines, but with the CEO (Matt Rodak) and the rest of the management team.I have no requirement to invest my own money on the FTF platform; I do that simply because I like the platform, like the deals that are being funded and find the returns to be nearly as good as the private lending I do, but without all the overhead.
