Are you offering them upfront fees?

However when I first I submitted a draw request for single family home the lender rejected the project management fee claiming  it was not included in the approved loans budget. 

Hey @Teekap Pate - Many condo deals in that area of Chicago get killed by the outrageous HOA fees. 

Consider the down payment, closing fees, remodeling budget, and financial reserves while saving for a house worth $100-150k.

Note:  LLC has bought/sold $12 million over the last year with and made a profit of 650,000 (without any of the partners RE commission contributed to the profits)Going forward Partner #1 wants the RE commission to be included in the profits - less a flat fee to her.   

Pay the fees, $195 in SWFL. 1-2 days3.

Lastly there just is not enough of those type of deals to take on extra work and risk .. its too narrow of a niche.. and keep in mind my fee's FAR exceed normal HML fees they make it worth my while.

The free versions aren't very easy to edit so eventually you will want to have a subscription or have a local attorney draw a lease up for you. 

@Adaze Foltz  Benefits:Direct to the source; more control over the receipt of the funds (initial and any rehab draws); able to not just establish a relationship, but also perhaps gain referrals of other private lending sources (those that are happy with the returns and payoffs - talk (boast) to their friends); faster to the table; can negotiate the terms (rate, when payments are made, other fees and when they are paid, etc.); usually nothing reported to credit bureaus.Risks:Using up the private sources money (tapping them out); The private lender didn't receive their payoffs on other loans as anticipated so they are short of funding your deal(s). 

If you plan to grow your portfolio, use a PM software that allows for corporate accounting so you don't need to get an additional Quickbooks subscription.
