Interesting - I have been investing in Philly for 8 years, run a  group of 2500 small landlords, speak at lots of events, know and network with many of the players  . . . but never heard of him before.

I think that a new partner a very large real estate development co. that the company now has a relationship wanted it there where his company is also .We have very different definitions of a Hard Money Loan. 

Networking with real estate professionals is huge, too – it opens up so many opportunities.Would you recommend starting with fix-and-flip projects or something else for someone new to private lending?

If at some point you feel like tapping into my wider network—I’m based in Scottsdale but have threads of connection in San Antonio and beyond—just say the word.

Here to network and seek and provide referrals. :)PS

I’m about to close my first deal and am eager to network with other investors, agents, wholesalers, lenders, and cool folks as I continue my journey. sup

I think the greatest take away for me is to be Focused on what you want and Networking is your greatest tool (and my weakest skill). 

Many here are most likely in this asset class and have dealt with evictions so they favor a larger guarantee and don't mind a hefty turnover if the tenant stays 5 plus years as the higher grade areas there will be more turnovers than that though the charges will be less per turnover. 

I bought a few more duplexes and graduated into larger deals.

.: @Robin Simon I’m looking to put at least 5% down in a loan and use a larger portion of my capital to buy down the interest rate to take off a couple of points.
