Does anyone know a reputable hard money lender in Las Vegas or the surrounding area's that would be able to help me with my request?

I bring 40K to the deal and he brings the lender in his company’s name because he has a reputation with them already.

Secondly, someone with a good reputation and good customer service.

Is there a free way, or a reputable online screening service for this?

The exact allocation depends on the method applied, and there are many methods to choose from.

Lots of great resources and information on here.I wholesale in Phoenix and could also recommend some contractors as well (Although I would recommend getting bids from several different contractors to familiarize yourself with price points).As far as hard money is concerned, Boomerang Capital / CapFund1 / Merchants / Clear Mortgage are all great reputable lenders in the area.Feel free to PM me if you ever want to chat

To donate the property.I am going to guess it may be best to sell for market value and take the loss.Check with a very good reputable CPA if you dont have one already.

I don't mean to kick you when you are down, but you choose to be a landlord in Santa Monica, one of the most inhospitable cities in the world towards landlords.

They are leaning towards renting both properties, but I'd like to connect with someone who will allow me to generate a referral fee if they choose to list either property for sale.

Choose wisely time is money.
