What additional services or support, beyond financing, do real estate investors value when working with a private or hard money lender?

@James McGovern - my wife was in attendance and she and I own 20+ properties, a huge office building, have done multiple 1031 exchanges, Segregation studies, flips, private money, creative financing etc.  

The problem is Menards tends to use no name or private label brands, so it is difficult to price match.

I do agree about adding that second bathroom, that's a huge consideration when folks are touring places. 

The rehab + landscaping = $65K (approximately) Would it be better to seek out private money and pay them back at refi or attempt a cash out refi.

I can help you do some financial analysis for potential exits if you give me more info about your situation in a private message as well. 

We are actually having one our premier events in October called Junkers to Jewels, a 3 day in person classrom and bus tour to learn about flipping, rehabbing, estimating etc on actual deals with local investors. 

My name is Brittney, my husband and I are in the process of starting our own fix and flip investment but unsure how to proceed and get our first investor, preferable a private money lender because we dont have the capital, or credit to get a loan and you have to wait at least 6 months after opening an LLC and getting a business line of credit in order to apply for a loan.

I'm Patricia, a private money lender based in Tennessee.

I'm also waiting for a meeting with a possible private lender.
