I am looking for recommendations for best financing options.The owner is considering financing it, but until they agree, I am planning as if they will not do so.The local credit union I use, who is very investor friendly, is unable to lend on properties larger than 4 units right now. 

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 

Quote from @Chris Seveney: Over the past quarter, I have seen around $1B in defaulted fix and flip loans - many of these from new lenders since 2020 and more of a "tech platform".As we all know, the intersection of tech and real estate investing has brought incredible innovation, especially in hard money lending.

And lastly, market risks and mismanaged funds can also create major headaches, especially for those involved in lending groups.

Private money refers to individuals who offer a similar product but lend to friends, family and other investors they know. 

Quote from @Dmytro Shcherbitskyi: Hi everyone, I’m planning to syndicate my first real estate deal and would love some guidance. 

The brokerage house can lend on margin for securities they hold. 

This is a self directed RRSP or TFSA account that allows you to lend your money out to people with the backing of their mortgage for a high interest rate. 1st, 2nd, 3rd mortgages, down payments, refinances, flipping or renovation money.

It is the interest rates at which banks lend to each other and is short for Secured Overnight Financing Rate. 

Do any of the lenders that replied here lend in Alabama?
