Custom building a home is a slow and painful process.  

I think making it more generic and less custom is the safer bet.

Now most of my deals are a combination of our business money, bank money, hard money, and private money.  

Each grouping had a common room (perhaps it was shared by multiple groupings ... this was a detail I missed) with a nurses/aid workers office.Central to the two sides of the complex were common facilities such as a dining hall, gym {perhaps a pool ... another detail I missed}, theatre &  games room.With one of the fastest growing groups in our society being single people, we are examining a related idea of a  complex / building providing a modest-sized 1-bdroom "apartment" with more semi-private and common amenities.When I read the title to your thread, I thought it was a project proposing to mix students and seniors into a single complex ... and came in thinking, this ought to be interesting :-) 

In our view, experience and integrity are by far the most important parts of any private loan.

I do a lot of private lending and we do make some passive interest, but the good fixing flippers make the bulk of the money.

Private lenders, like who I work with, prefer to lend to properties held under an LLC. 

Also makes private lending easier.

We don't allow advertising or deal making in our Private Message System, so that could be the issue. 

Agree Google nmls - funny on Facebook where 99% of private lending groups that are public are scam artists you get the "well license isn't required"I reply to this noting that while you are correct in some states - chances of a scammer with a nmls license are less than 1% while those without is 99% on sociale media
