I just have a general question about who are most investors in the Greensboro area using for lending. 

The one I know that lends in your area is longhorninvestments.com. 

Once the published data catches-up it will be interesting to see if we are experiencing an uncharacteristic spike arising from the temporary relaxation of lending practices a decade ago.

Take a look at the lending parameter that they offer, and then take it from there.

The biggest misconception in real estate is that lending is based on value.  

Peak Asset Lending from Tennessee has a program that will assist you.  

@Ashley G.There are banks out there that will lend to HOAs against your account reciecables(your monthly HOA fees).  

If they are willing to do that, that is no guarantee the bank will lend you the money.

First Bank will lend on Trailer parks if they are currently producing income.

@Seth C.IRA capital can be used to invest in real estate in the variety of ways: single family rentals, commercial, in the US and out of the country, you can invest in tax liens and deeds, you can do hard money (or private) lending out of your account to other investors, etc. etc.In order to do so you need a self-directed IRA.
