I am looking for a private lender to finance my rehab on an already owned, gutted property in a desirable neighborhood of the city (Upper Lawrenceville): demo complete, structural engineer sign-off, architect-approved design to move the stairs (which is not a small deal in Pittsburgh), and city permit.

Love this and I agree, I have a luxury mattress business and that's exactly how deals go.

I am a financial advisor that specializes in working with business owners and real estate investors.

Busy city!

Especially the first one where you don't have enough properties to hire one and you don't want to do it yourself bc you're busy with either your W2 job or your business.2.

Most are like this: •Rates: 9% to 13% (Most Deals are 11-12%)Terms: up to 36 Months (Most Deals are 6-12 months)Fees: 2-4 points(%) of loan amount paid at closing (Most Deals are 3 points(%))Minimum Loan Amount: $50,000 (For loans less than $250,000 $2,500 minimum fee)Max Loan: 65%-70% of After Repair Value(ARV) 100% Rehab Financing Available (Require 20% of purchase price down payment or cross-collateral)Closing Timeframe: 48 Hours - 3 Weeks (Most Deals are 2 Weeks)NO PRIMARY RESIDENCES, NON-OWNER OCCUPIED ONLY, BUSINESS AND COMMERCIAL USE ONLY.

Sotherland Designs is a good company.

Just on the business level for landlords to be as specific as possible with their requirements and give detailed line item dispositions. 

Granted things take a long time in this business but leaving no stone unturned also yields fruits.

I've met tons of people I've done business with from IMN conferences.
