Quote from @Dan Farsht: I am looking to connect with other hard money lenders in the upper Midwest (our business is currently concentrated in the Greater Milwaukee Area). 

Hey Kenny no it's more out the money to work and if needed get personally involved right right now have 3 clients I helped raised 175k in 0% interest business funding with 12 months 0 apr and they want to get going in real estate and make modest returns not shooting for home runs 

Quote from @Gregory Wilson: A few things there, Brendan.First, an LLC with you as a member and your (wife, son, pal, etc.) partner as a 1% member will file a Form 1065 which is about one tenth as likely to be audited by the IRS as a Form 1040 with a Schedule E rental activity (which I presume you will attempt to show is an active business).Second, you want an LLC because when your local Alabama handyman drives his girlfriend's uninsured truck into a van load of U of A medical school interns on I-22 when he goes  to get some shingles for your roof, on your business, you don't lose everything you have or ever will have to an uninsured claim. 

We have helped several businesses open up using a Tiny Home to fit their business needs along with the City of St Louis with their homeless project.

I made a few thousand less than expected but I figure that's just the cost of doing business sometimes.Based on my experience I wouldn't let the remote possibility that a homeowner might go into greed mode dissuade you from doing these deals.

@Chad CutshallI can't answer for them, but their website doesn't indicate that buying/reselling notes is part of their business model.

Also, would this loan help build my personal credit, or would it only report to business credit bureaus under my LLC?

My business partner and I actually own a portfolio of STR's in the area, so if you wanted some insight on that business I'm happy to share as well!

I'm curious to see if people use AI as part of their business.  

It’s usually best to open a separate business checking account so your rental income and expenses stay organized and away from personal funds.
