We would love for you to post photos and proof of where exactly we were being shady so everyone can “see” what you’re talking about.

You gave tenant itemized list at 5 days and have photo documentation of the items.   

Take it with a grain of salt as safety is subjective.You could also ask your Realtor and property manager their thoughts and maybe next time they are in the area to take photos.

They would not be offering you a hard money loan (loan based on the hard asset) and instead they are lending to you as a traditional lender with private money.

Getting a loan to payoff another loan with a lower interest rate doesn't make any sense. we do private lending and can get double digits returns consistently.

For example:Second, under their "About us" link, click on "Management" and you'll see a "Meet the Team" page where there's the following photo/info for this James LaPushner fellow you mentioned (which says he was born in New Zealand):However, if you do a reverse Google image search on this photo, you'll find that it's posted on several other sites, including this one: https://planetaseminarov.ru/people/konstantin-baksht.htmlHere's a photo of him from this page:This page is written in Russian, but if you translate it, it says his name is Konstantin Baksht, he lives in Moscow Russia, and he is the owner and CEO of the international consulting company Baksht Consulting Group. 

But there arent a lot of photos. 

Unless you're working with Private Money that is going to carry the risk of your lack of experience, banks want to see experience, Net Worth and liquidity after close to consider the terms.I started with single family, four plexes, and remodel flips for a lot of years before getting into larger deals. 

Rearrange photos, change payment from one to two payments, etc. 

We managed to bring the property down in price, overcome objections, and navigate the eviction battle, and in the end, it paid off.The key takeaway here is that if you’re a true cash buyer who can work with private lenders, you can survive long, drawn-out processes like this.
