Here's my 2 cents, Asher, coming from a Navy LT about 5 years into the journey.

I was wondering if there was any institutions that you all would recommend.So far I’ve spoken to Navy Fed (their max is 100k) and Wells Fargo (their max is 60% of the property value).I’m based out of DC but originally from the Bay Area.

I have not done a renovation loan, but I’d call USAA, PenFed, Navy Federal, etc first. 

I have always found a way to follow my dreams; from dropping out of college to join the Navy going against my family's wishes, leaving the Navy when most felt that it was a perfect career choice.

I am a father of two young boys, the husband of a beautiful woman, a veteran of the US Navy and a Commercial General Contractor located in Broward County, Florida.

I financed directly through Navy Federal since they were cheaper.

I am in the navy and have recently moved to San Diego.

I’m working on an application for membership with Navy Federal Credit Union. 

For example, if I sold 1/2 the balance of the note, the yield DOUBLES to ~20% on a 10% face rate note for the note buyer (unless of course I'm the note buyer, then it's okay :-)Pardon my french, but I will be a son of a b*tch before I pay a totally passive note investor that rate of return in this low interest rate enviroment.
