Are there any alternative financing options (private lenders, or portfolio loans) that might work better?

With what little we had left, we made a last-ditch effort to pivot into real estate by splitting the entry fee into a private investment group in Columbus, OH (our hometown), which also happened to run the largest public real estate network in the state, The CREAM.My friend bowed out early, but I stayed in, showing up to every single weekly call.

Typically, refinancing with private lending is much easier and more flexible than going through institutional banks.

I financed the deal by a 50/50 mix of construction loan and private loans.

I’m targeting assets between 25-100 units located in high-growth markets that exhibit strong fundamentals.

@Jay Jones asmentioned i don't get financing through them but do business with them through other channels. we do what they do (private lending) 

There is no benefit for private lenders or HML today to do this strategy as they are completely in the drivers seat being able to dictate terms as liquidity becomes more and more an issue.
