It wasn’t until I ask the realtor to send me a copy of the funding letter did I find out it was a lender, Insula Capital.

Another important note  on this is one reason in Oregon its such a big deal with lenders.. is that a properly filed Mechancis lien as your probably aware is a SUPER lien and jumps ahead of all of other liens. 

Quote from @Ty Coutts: Hi Phil,in Columbus, OH, some great places to network for deals including local real estate investment clubs like the Central Ohio Real Estate Investors Association (COREIA), meetups, and events hosted by real estate brokers or lenders.

We ran it past our real estate agent and lender — but I'm all for shoring up.

My name is Naomi Pinger and I am a private money lender.

No doubt buying the first property can seem very scary but ideally, you are working with a realtor and lender who owns STRs.

Quote from @John O'Leary: Hi Joe,We’ve worked with several PadSplit investors to secure financing, and while these properties cash flow really really well, they do come with challenges—tenant turnover/issues and being the biggest ones.One hurdle we’ve seen is that getting financing can be tricky since PadSplit rentals are still considered non-conforming by most lenders.

So I've been wanting too go out a network with investors and loaners/lenders but I don't know if their is any events that is real estate and commercial real estate investing based events in DC, does anyone know any events in the DMV that is good too join?

For that reason, most of these lenders want to ensure you OWN your primary residence.

A note failing after two months is a pretty rare event Aloha is a very experienced lender.
