For some people, this is really important, they don't want to buy a new home with the sale of current being a question mark, they want certainty, many hold a fear of "what-if" on non-sale of home or a price too low.

That was supposed to end with an exclamation point not a question mark LOL!

While I don't raise debt offerings, like Chris does, my general sentiment is that many investors are wanting more security these days versus equity, and those that are open to equity, at least in the multifamily space, are looking for very high returns, given the perceived risks they are hearing about in the news.

Hi @Blake WilliamsI own a brokerage and have worked with most of the largest hard money lenders in our space and at a high volume level.

Hi Xavier,Mark them off your list and go somewhere else.

I will be leasing a commercial property for the first time, it is a small retail space in Northern California.

My wife and I recently purchased a home where we are planning on converting the basement into a rentable space.

But something just did not add up with those guys ( and they were AZ based and slick as all get out) But to easy to approve me just send 10k for due diligence. only somewhat related but BiggerPockets really needs to acknowledge a new category of lender that falls in the Non-QM space (any mortgage thats not qualifying under the Agency QM rules - including DSCR lenders but also many established non-bank lenders that focus on pretty standard mortgage products that are part of the established Secondary Market and Finance Infastructure). 

I am looking to gain as much information about the space and the steps needed in order to implement a plan into place!
