The institionalized players typically have 100-200 BPS lower rates than standard hard money lending players but they're clunky and have lots of requirements its almost like the instituional HML should be called "hybrid hard money or hybrid bridge money," because of all these requirements.When we're working with those instutionalized players we usually have to do almost as much work as a conventional loan (1-4 fannie, not quite but almost as much).If you'd like to learn more about the different options or get a sounding board on what options are out there feel free to reach out and we can talk shop.

My Vrbo account manager sent me an invitation to a Vrbo mastermind meeting.They went over settings you can change.I did change my direct booking setting from direct booking with 7 day window to just direct book.I changed some of my minimum stay settings and made sure sure I had a discount for week or longer bookings.I got 2 different 7 day bookings in June this afternoon at our Lake house.Coincidence?
