Trying to learn and figure out how to get started.

If it's a new regulation for big lenders, maybe try some local community banks. 

@Michael Overall Utilities and interest paid before a property is in service must be capitalized and added to the property’s basis.

I was advised today by a retired real estate professional, who is licensed, that if you offer an application to someone for a loan, you must be licenesed by the DRE.

Then continue to scale - don't try and retire off one deal
