Quote from @JD Martin: Quote from @Benjamin Weinhart: Speaking to your item #6, I was actually told by the staff here over the phone maybe 5-6 months ago that DMing someone is fine so long as it's not a copy/paste ad and is specific to the individual.

It works just fine if the operator knows what theyre doing and structures it correctly.

One thing to be careful with though is that if you go the personal loan route, you need to ensure your DTI is still fine and you will still qualify for your VA loan assumption AND the second mortgage.

If you conclude the leverage is so good that everyone comes out ahead that's fine but if you are only able to originate hard money debt that may be viewed as a red flag by investors who will question your experience and borrowing strength.

Fine.

@ Zack Gill  That data should be fine. 

I ask a few questions which I think is fine.
