It takes time to develop this reputation and one bad deal to lose it.Lend to newbies.

When trusting an individual or team with your hard-earned capital, you should do some digging to see if their business plan is based on a proven track record or wishful optimism.A good first step is googling the operator to see if they have a reputable online presence.

I am hoping to find reputable lenders who lend based on the asset, not the borrower.

Also connecting with a reputable property manager can usually offer you the same assistance.

Plead your case and hopefully you will gain some traction with the company; they do seem reputable.

A lot of Architects you call are going to tell you to pound sand once they see the online plans...because now they are co-mingling their reputation with a poor and basic set of plans, and taking on liability that they do not want.If you insist on using online plans to save a few $$, you will drive away good Contractors and Architects and end up with young, desperate newbies who will work with you just for a few bucks.

@Mario AmWell, the sad reality is that the worst actors among the wholesalers have earned themselves a terrible reputation, but the entire community of wholesalers has to pay for it.
