I'm collecting more evidence from this lender and already connecting even more incriminating evidence and adding on more charges to these guys.If you or someone you know has EVER worked with any of these names, please reach out to me incase what you have might seriously help out my case and save other lenders, other attorneys, other regular people etc from being screwed. 

My other thought was to find a flip job for faster cash.Is there other ventures or financing ideas I should be considering?

I have new builds in Dallas as well, that move a litttle faster, yet still pretty slow. 

As long as there are no outstanding repairs, I don't see anything wrong with paying off that loan faster. 

You wont' get rich from it but you can scale much faster. 

If they are charging you an upfront fee, they are more than likely not legitimate.

Many companies charge lower initial fees which makes it easier to attract new owners but then charge inspection fees, after hours fees, fees for additional services etc.

They charge $1000 if you buy one of their pre selected properties.

It may sound nice to pay a 6% management fee but the extra fees can add up to be more than the other company that charges 10% with no additional fees.
