Matt that is the NMLS number for the company not for you personally  sounds like your a VA or something not a licensed lender..

Personalizing your message to the individual recipient is the best way to avoid this.

Also, get all personal info (DOB, SSN) from the seller in case needed when talking to lenders, lienholders, etc.

I personally would go that route as it would probably be less expensive. 

I’ve met most of my partners through in-person events because it’s easier to get a feel for someone’s personality and long-term vision.

I'm looking to identify a builder with the following characteristics:1) Eager to grow his/her company and reputation in the market2) Has produced at least five high quality builds in Arizona which are at least 4K sq ft  3) Has proven track record of completing builds in a timely manner4) Personal capital to allocate to projects (optional, but ideal)Please reach out to me if you or someone you know might fit these criteria. are you set that you want luxury?

Best regards, This approach is neutral and objective, focusing strictly on the criteria, and avoids discussing any specifics about the applicant’s personal situation.

Personally I am thinking 1c.

Did your borrowers mention securing your investment with a recorded mortgage or deed of trust, personal guarantees, lender’s title insurance, or anything else?

Any guidance from experienced investors, real estate professionals, or anyone who has faced a similar situation would be greatly appreciated.
