Welcome aboard.BP is a great conduit for RE investment advice and insights.My company is a private buyer and private lender on lower ARV $ SFR properties throughout the U.S. 

You will get much longer length of term on the loan before it is due with a conduit lender versus a local bank."

I'm running conduit in specs to make installing solar very easy and try to upsell the end buyers to install a PV array as part of their financing but most people are unwilling to spend the extra money.

Here's another cautionary tale.I have a friend that loaned via a loan promoter conduit which loaned in conjunction with or behind a formal (company) hard money lender. 

Conduit (CMBS) - Conduit went away for a bit during the COVID onset, but they are back lending again.

Is it possible/allowable/cost effective to maybe have a "crawlspace bulkhead" to run them through or any other ideas or option some sort of tubing or conduit?

Hey all, I'm looking to get my RE salesperson's license in RI, mainly to use it as a conduit for buying & selling my own investment property either with partners or on my own.

We get down there less than 24 inches & find a 2inch soft conduit with a LIVE 240v power line resting on top of the old sewer line???

While you would not be a retail mortgage lender you are a wholesale conduit.

Once you have a portfolio of properties that have established their own credit worthiness (via your Management LLC) you can look for conduit loans that are non-recourse.
