One of the investments finally paid out and return the principle with over 10% ROI (more than the projected 10%).

The borrower and the asset itself.Borrower:Your credit (are you a trustworthy borrower), are you capitalized enough to float this project/ cover the debt, track record (borrower/ contractors experience).Asset:Comps (as-is & ARV), LTV metrics (lender can help verify these if you have questions), detailed budget and scope of work, tentative schedule, exit strategy.Of course any lender/ partner will dive in a little deeper after the initial pitch but if you have all of the above ready for your initial conversation it will go a long way in getting deals approved/ partners on board.
