Lenders will want to see those funds deposited in a bank or other lending institution on one or two monthly statements.

Contrary to most business lending, the REI industry has a lot of "non-bank" lenders that provide attractive loans that can lower your cost of capital and improve your profit/cash flow. 

Private is an option too, but again, a pay for service on top of the permit fees, etc.   

That said, I'm grateful for the alternatives you present--you're keeping the bottom line in mind, so I appreciate your help in exploring options that achieve the bottom line for the investors. 

The training is pretty thorough focused on lending hard/private money to other fix and flip investors, or for my own deals for which I could pay myself as the loan broker.

well you have your own answer there are no lenders for entitlements  there are JV partners like me for entitlements but its not at traditional lending rates of course as its all risk capital.WI funded 3 entitlement deals in 2024 in Loudan  county VA to the tune of 7 figures in cash. since my client does not own it its unsecured ..

Happy to chat BRRRR lending anytime. 

FYI, most of my CFO clients borrow from HMLs that will lend up to 100% of their rehab costs. 

Despite rate cuts, we aren't seeing the lending market agree with their expectations on inflation.

@Izraul HidashiLook up fractional lending.
