My investments were all what they termed private placement and was essentially funds used for lending, buying notes and recently land trust.After MIdland sprun this on us, my spouse also has accounts, I did some research but didn't see a purpose to remove our accounts at the time.I have not been with ET long enough to give comment on them and what little "issues" occured were technical.

Some of the other lenders mentioned in this thread are more so private lenders / hard money lenders and while they may underwrite based on DSCR, I don't think it is the DSCR loan you are looking for.

I can send you a free guest pass to our general meeting next week and you can network with a couple hundred local investors and meet all kinds of vendors with hard money, private money, trades, title and wholesalers.

I'm currently in Potomac, working at a private school here. 

20+ yrs. ago we avoided Section 8, primarily due to the disparity in rents from private that Section 8 Housing rents appeared to be nearly 20% less than private rents. 

@Wade Wisner -  Most of the notes that we purchase we keep in our portfolio and borrow against them with private capital.

Private lenders or even creating a small syndicate with a group of investors might also be worth exploring, especially since you can point to your uncle’s track record and your own experience managing rentals as a selling point.If timing is tight, you could look into a bridge loan to secure the property while figuring out a more permanent solution.

Wouldn't it make more sense to raise money privately?

I am starting to realize there has been a significant amount of consolidation in the space by private equity and other institutional investors. 3) From research it also seems like getting financing can be difficult without prior experience in the space.

Maybe he's talking about a private money lender??
