We have done JVs, partnerships, have a network of private investors, pay cash for properties, have a successful history with construction lending, and great credit.

I'd be happy to chat with you folks about lending stuff, but my zone is only 1-4 unit residential.I generally connect pretty damn well with silicon valley tech wizards, and early on at least that is of course going to be a demographic disproportionately over-represented among your clients (former co-workers at other tech startups etc).

@Jay Hunt,This looks like it might be an appropriate forum...https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/49-private-conventional-lending-discussionDavid J Dachtera"Success is not a destination.

You can look at hard money if you have a good enough deal - some I know will lend up to 75% of project cost on distressed property.

Hello board,as the title of the post states, I've new to portfolio lending and I was trying to evaluate an offer that I was recently approached with.  

Many lenders won't lend on vacant land, but lend once there is a foundation poured & utility hook up availability and approved building plans.

The problem im having is I live in Maine and no one is lending in my state.  

But buying your primary residence is both the easiest underwriting and the best lending terms you will get.

I know a TON about the VA loan and lending, it is my specialty. 

Are you talking about lenders that would lend you cash for the purchase or refinance after the purchase?
