Greatly increased lending capital by transitioning from a ‘blind pool” fund to a series LLC / syndication model where investors know the property lending deal before committing to any loan and can “pick and choose” whichever loans they do or do not want to participate in.  

@Camille Romerounless you are able to spend some significant time in your chosen location in person, and work on building a network there, i would pick a market closer to NYC, within a couple hours.  

Thankfully I picked the right sponsor LOL.

Pick a lane based on your strengths and long-term goals.

Although not everyone, they pick and choose who they charge what to.

It would be ridiculous not to pick up guests from other platforms.  

We picked up the home for a large discount as the estate wanted to close the deal.

You have to take your pick between charity and business.
