Hello BiggerPockets Community,I’m currently in the process of expanding my real estate portfolio and am looking to establish relationships with hard money lenders who can offer the most competitive and lowest rates available in the market.I am a business owner with $1.5 million in verifiable funds.

Or get into flips, with $100k and hard money there's tons of properties here you could make some money on.

Plus, once you do enough flips or BRRRRs, you’ll inevitably overrun, mess up, or otherwise lose money on one.

It’s awesome to see another active duty service member diving into real estate.

I am not hard to find if someone wants to work with me.As someone who has run an on-market real estate team with as many as fifty agents in the past, I can tell you that the problem is that real estate agents are lazy and unfocused and want the low-hanging fruit with limited work.

My comments is on taking action and the profit centers of real estate:With real estate, time evens out many bumps, including paying too much.

Cost segregation is a commonly used strategic tax planning tool that allows companies and individuals who have constructed, purchased, expanded or remodeled any kind of real estate to increase cash flow by accelerating depreciation deductions and deferring federal and state income taxes.When a property is purchased, not only does it include a building structure, but it also includes all of its interior and exterior components.

Recommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?
