Real estate investing 101.Hard money lenders usually lend 65-75% of the project cost, charge 12-14% and 2 points for origination. 12% fees is a huge red flag, the only you'll get from "Midwest Corporate Credit" is an ulcer from the stress of losing $7,200.Raising $60,000 isn't too difficult, if you talk with friends and family and maybe a real estate attorney or two you should be able to raise it.

Is that normal, or does that wave a red flag?

Due to my business strategy,  I am in the red year over year and managing property is my only job.  

They could make it so that anything other than "no" in the "funny business" column was bright red, but that's nitpicking because a single "yes" in a sea of "no" is going to stand out anyways.

I wouldn't make waves over it, just do what you have to do to not raise red flags. 

Good luck bro, fortune favors the bold!

I just had to have previously given blood to the Red Cross 😁.

.* he had fallen getting out of a cab and he couldn't walk for the next few days* he had spent all the money we'd already paid him on fixing up his own house and couldn't pay his subs that weekSo many red flags and warning signs along the way.

Would 100% raise a red flag, 90/10, 80/20?

I have experimented with a red "confidential" stamp.
