Hi,I travel a lot and I need a bedroom to use every now and then in Nevada, and I'm considering Las Vegas because it has decent international flight connectivity.

Would love to connect and see how I can assist you a bit further.

Would love to connect and see what kind of number I could get for you on a cashout refinance, that would be the cheapest option.

It would be worth connecting with hard money lenders on bigger pockets to learn more. 

You could have asked her directly and given her the benefit of an honest and open conversation about it, but you came on here and asked us strangers on the internet who don’t know her or you, so you get what you get like it or not. 

I'd love to connect with other investors in the area or along 270!

I get a lot of requests to connect them with private money lenders like yourself.
