Hello, I am in the process of securing my first hard money loan.

Efficient negotiations secured the property for $93,000 on favorable terms.

We use a company that sets up all of our long and short term holds in LLC's and our parent company is filed in Wyoming due to all information being protected and not publicly available from the LLC. 

Efficient negotiations secured the property for $155,000 on favorable terms.
