Find lender/financing

In addition, what lenders have been best to work with from your experience?

@Joshua Postthere are lots of things you can do:-talk to a lender to find out how much you can borrow-find an agent and go look at 50 potential house hacks-reduce your expenses so you can save more each month-go to all of the local REIA meetings and find out what the other investors are doingjust because you haven't bought something does not mean you are in analysis paralysis.  

I'm needing a CRE lender well versed for warehouse space for an owner/user preferably with Chase bank.

1) Build your team - talk to investor-friendly lenders and agents that are experienced working with real estate investors.

This is not a scare tactic its more of a buyer beware to do research and pick a good Bank/lender.

You can get into it with relatively low money down depending on what options lenders offer in your area. 

A lender is not going to lose money on a deal for you to gain experienceYou will need to partner with someone to get experience and at the same time start savingTo answer the other question you typically will need 20-30% down to get hard money

He has worked with other hard money lenders in the past. 

Mid-construction has some struggles with many lenders in our current capital markets, though there are options!
