BP is good at filtering out the fake lenders.. one little post and you get to have the assurance your dealing with a real and reputable lender.

You’re either his friend with a very pathetic attempt of possibly salvaging what little of a reputation he will have left, or you are also part of the problem.

This is where making sure doing your due diligence on the broker/lender's reputation truly matters.

They have a good reputation from what I've seen but does anybody have a long-term track record with them in Memphis or Little Rock.

Quote from @James McGovern: Do this often and you will develop a reputation for being deceptive and hard to deal with and unrealistic. 

Plus, Ohio's landlord-friendly reputation really boosts its overall appeal.

If you ditch the agent and don’t pay the commission you may end up with a bad reputation if you plan to keep buying in this area.

@Zach GallagherVisio has a solid reputation and will end on collateral that others wouldn't even consider.  

I took out a 12-month hard money loan with HouseMax Funding, a reputable lender, for a fix-and-flip project.

Generally in this day and age its pretty easy to do quick due diligence (google, website, reviews, etc) to determine if a lender is reputable or not.Also - noting look straight from the NewFi websitehttps://newfi.com/dscr-loans/something is definitely off here if you were told you got a DSCR Loan and were required to provide tax returns to "qualify" - someone is not telling you the 100% truth which is certainly a flag to me.
