I am considering going to the NPLA event in Atlantic City for 3 reasons: https://nplaconference.com/june-2024-event-registration/1 - Looking for partnering with a hard money lender who may want to expand into Panama to do "Harder Money Lending". 2 - Looking for servicing software3 - Learn more about the hard money lending business specifically in Florida and the US is generalHave any of you been to an event organized by the NPLA?

anyone have a lender that is STR/second home savvy? 

I did a pretty conclusive poll of about 14 lenders of all sorts and each and every one wouldn't allow larger loans for operating STRs.

Does anyone has experience working with "The Lender" to finance a short term rental property?

Gross income is easier to establish and this mirrors how lenders qualify buyers for mortgages.

There is more that goes into it but you are essentially a middle man.For fix and flips you don't need a credit if you make relationships with asset based hard money lenders.

I would work with an STR lender before construction to verify that a deal will be eligible for refinancing.

I've spoken with a few mortgage lenders about FHA and conventional loans.

Reach out to some EAs or CPAs on this board privately and ask if they take IRS representation cases.BP rules prohibit us from contacting you, publicly or privately, even though you asked for help.

BamX is a pretty good platform for agents to network with one another, brainstorm ideas, learn about sales & marketing, and much more.If you're on IG, check out @thebrokeagent and @nowbamI am also part of similar private platform for agents nationwide - happy to share more info on that if you're interested!
