Lots of good brokers/agents on here from down there.

Acting like a broker dealer is scarily common.

I will require the contractor warranty the work for 1 year, and provide the same documentation that they would provide to a paying customer.

Question.. why would Peter, or any of the other so-called gurus charged you thousands of dollars for a course that is mostly outdated, customer service is very poor of even nonexistent, and here is the kicker....

I wonder if I could reach out to any local brokers who would know of investors that perform these loans, since none of the traditional lenders do.  

Either wholesalers, agents, brokers, auctions. 

Most of my customers who own their own land typically use Fannie Mae since it offers a ower Dp for 2-4 units and the guide lines are more lienant. 

I'm a local broker and PM -- The first lien is indeed "first" position, being it was owned free and clear prior to recordation. 

It offers a secure and transparent process for both buyers and sellers.NoteTrader Exchange: An online marketplace where you can list your note for potential buyers.LoanMLS: A marketplace for buying and selling mortgage loans and notes.FCI Exchange: Another platform where you can list and sell your notes to investors.Note Investing Forums and CommunitiesBiggerPockets: A popular real estate investing community where you can network with potential note buyers.LinkedIn Groups: Join groups focused on note investing and real estate to connect with potential buyers.National Note Group: An online community where you can connect with other note investors.Note Brokers and BuyersNote Brokers: Engage with reputable note brokers who have access to a network of note buyers.Local Real Estate Investor Groups: Attend meetings and network with local investors who might be interested in purchasing your note.Financial InstitutionsCredit Unions and Community Banks: These institutions may be interested in purchasing performing notes.Private Equity Firms: Some firms specialize in acquiring performing mortgage notes.I hope this give some direction regarding your situation.

Some lenders will base off the "mix" of commercial vs residential by sqft and some will base off of rent, and some will base off of the unit counts, so you'd want to take advantage of the lender/broker that can fit your scenario in the most favorable way possible.Is the property fully occupied?
