My best advice is to work with someone who can easily plug you in with their network of GCs, PMs, and lenders.

Hi Michael, we're a national lender, so if you need financing in either locale, feel free to reach out!

I am a hard money lender and need advise if an unsecured loan I made through the Solo 401k defaults and is uncollectible are there tax write-offs as a result of the uncollected loan?

Do you have a list of recommended lenders?

Switch Lenders: I’m currently working on refinancing (six other properties), so I’m thinking maybe I should take everything to another lender who might be a better fit.  

A lender that specializes in distressed properties can help you find the right financing for your scenario.The Bottom LineInvestors will find unique opportunities with distressed properties, but the myths need to be dispelled.

I just signed a bunch of disclosures from my lender and after reading them it has me thinking, "Is there a cheaper way to do this."

Another great option is the BRRRR method (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat), where you buy a fixer-upper, renovate it, rent it out, and refinance to pull your cash back for the next deal, and this is a good route because most private lenders can go higher LTV than on a rental loan! 

I’ve got a lender who is a problem solver and loves geeking out on the minute details of these problems (it’s what makes her a great lender) and she could be a great resource for you...she’s put together condo conversion workshops with experts all talking about their components.
