I am a hard money lender myself and understand there are a lot of players in this space angling to advertise the best deals.

The investor would prefer a contractor who understands the local market, has the ability to purchase materials in bulk at optimal price and execute the project in the shortest possible time.2) Many of the best players will not show up on top of Google search resultsWhy?

Some more information below: Use a Commercial Real Estate Broker: Commercial real estate brokers are the gatekeepers to the great deals you seek and are key players to have on your side.

I know a bunch of those players.

I would say on premium triple net properties it is doubtful.Too many other players ready to put skin in the game.They don't have to deal with tenants,toilets,and termites and get a 6 to 8 percent annual return.You might be able to structure something with a non-corporate tenant but that carries a bunch of more risk.You can get into these properties with less skin as lenders that do credit tenant loans will go 90% LTV.So you could in theory structure these no money down but again there are big companies gobbling up triple net with hoards of cash.If you are assuming a loan the lenders feel much more comfortable with a big corp with tons of backing,cash,and a track record for performing.The other benefit is that with the big company as the buyer the lender will let the personal guarantee go on the loan assumption.If you are just Joe Blow wanting to assume it they might let you with a personal guarantee still attached to the seller.This has just been my experience and there are always exceptions to the rule.

There appear to be a lot of big players in the RE world attending/speaking at this event, so it may be a good event to attend and soak up some information.

*Loan officers sponsor many of my local events and oftentimes pay for the event space and refreshments.3. search BP & speak with local players in the industry to come up with a list of topics that people are interested in. i.e.

Its kinda like a football team , The contractor ( coach ) calls the plays , and the players execute the plays . 

The good news is national players may not bother with such small markets.

Three months to fix an issue shows that they are not serious about being a major player in the management/accounting software area.
