There are many out there now and I have been looking for a tool that would help me compare a few of them side by side based on criteria given by the syndicator and my initial investment amount.

That varies from lender to lender.

In my area, they normally pay at the last minute, even the morning of the sale.Never seen a nice house with a big mortgage actually go thru with tax sale.Could happen.Who is the lender?

They are working on a refinance of a private loan I am the lender on and I am just looking to see if they are the real deal or not.

NO reputable lender asks for funds upfront besides appraisal fee.Have heard MANY horror stories related to upfront fee lenders and it rarely ends well.

Trying to establish my team so any recommendations for realtors, contractors, lenders, etc will be appreciated! 

The recent interest rate hikes have taken a toll on this deal for me; however, because now my lender is telling me that because of the changes, I need to pay off more debts to make the deal work.

I can connect you with our preferred lender and he will be able to give you more details.
