So I look forward to learning as much as possible from all of you.Thank you .

So the question is have you guys ever used a hard money lender before do you recommend it or just figure out how to get the cash yourself or find properties that can go for conventional if the seller even considers it I own a contracting company and a moving/junk company so our projects I know for a fact I can do at a fraction of the cost as most investors but still I’m getting out bid to no end where I can’t see the money at all I’m not sure what there seeing but that’s a whole other story Anyways would love to hear from you guys if you used hard money lenders before and what to be careful with I’m just trying to see all my options Thank you in advance 

You’re going to pay this entity more money than anyone else in your life.If you're successful, that could mean that you will pay them millions over the course of your business career.So who is “this entity?”

Everyone on here says get a RE agent to work for you and help find/facilitate deals. 

First, are you sure its a zoning variance you need and not merely a use permit? 

Understanding borrower experienceRewards - being in first position you are in control of property in case of default.

One platform I highly recommend is Baselane.

How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

What is that risk premium worth to you?

Would you recommend for a 1st time investor.
