We just finished a dance with CIBC (BTW: They introduce additional scrutiny once you have 6+ {residential} mortgages and have {ridiculous IMHO} liquidity requirements once you have 10+ {residential} mortgages) where they would not include revenue from our 5+ unit properties in their DCR, GDS, TDS consideration ... despite the fact that our 5-unit is financed by RBC with a residential mortgage.
John Cameron Real Estate CrowdFunding and it's Affect on Hard Money

WHY because as hardmoney lenders they have more control over there capital.I have been one over the last 30 years my last shop was 35 million so we were not tiny but we were not SEattle funding either.. more on the line of East side or vestus.Borrowers just don't jump ship for 1% or a little cheaper.. they will stick with who will allow them to scale.so when I want to do a 100% deal for one of my long time borrowers no problem. your not going to be able to compete.. the day of 20% plus rates are gone of course.But the portals all want to make 14 to 18% apr just like the HML companies.Can you take market share no doubt but you will have to build it just like I built my companies excellent customer service and flexibility.. right now the Portals like RS have very stringent underwriting they cannot compete with many of the local guys in this market that have 10 to 30 mil to lend. and there is only so much hard money demand in a given market as we know.Vestus and East side get a lot of their business by providing capital to buy at courthouse steps this is highly complicated and lots of moving parts your portals will no way be able to compete at that level.Were I can see a portal doing well though is with bigger funding deals that the HML won't take on.. like larger credit type lines etc we have had some interest from portals for this.. and its not at all competition with the local guys.

I recently used this company that got me approved for 8 credit cards that gave me a line of credit of $60K...after going to a few guru classes, they told me I could use the credit cards as "investor cards" and use towards my down payment/ closing costs, I quickly realized 1) the credit cards to use for down payment / closing cost is counted as debt for banks when they determine your debt -to -income ratio. 2) They also didn't want me to liquidate the cards in the bank as they didn't want large deposits made.

Donald Hathaway New Real Estate Agent looking for broker

@Edwin PinaIf you are an "investor friendly" Brokerage, then you work with ALL types of investors and, like us, are investors themselves.If that is the case... and not just hype, then the three suggestions are inherent to doing business.In our case, we are a larger HUD Brokerage, and because of that have a strong relationship with a HUD approved Title Company with multiple offices who can do a number of things:Mail away closings - We support investors as far away as NorwaySimultaneous closings - We work with a number of wholesalers so this is vital.
