Building Reputation: How did you go about getting your name out there and establishing credibility as a private lender?

I 100% think you should add a hot tub even if it just a plug and play one that is reputable.

I work with a colleague that used to be a manager type prior to getting into Sales and assured me they are reputable!

If I did own properties in Baltimore, without question I would hire a reputable property manager.

FYI We looked at purchasing one that was operating already with a lease and I was really surprised how hostile banks were to the concept--they viewed it as a risky and potentially reputation damaging business.

Neu is also a reputable real estate agency with MIBOR (Metropolitan Indianapolis Board of Realtors)  I would be willing to help any of you out of state investors to walk properties and/or vett them for you and I know Edwin would be willing to do the same.

As a broker, that shops many lenders I look for reputation, communication, and the assurance, that whatever I push in will close. 

Hey Eli, hope you've been able to find a reputable company, but I can PM some suggestions over as well if you still need some.

Where did you make connections to reputable, affordable contractors?

Help me, tell me what I don't know that I need to, and any reputable contacts for financing options, etc.
