Several things to contribute here: 1) Private Lenders with no credit experience emerge doing down payment and 100%/High LTV financing at the end of every cycle, 2) they're among the first to loose their shirts in every downturn, 3) although someone termed this type of lending "gator", it's not new, 4) the guy that coined it didn't get into real estate untill well after the last crash, 5) he has no real credit background or experience (he's never been a lender), 6) Google the guy's name and "looses professional license in AZ" to see what pops up, and finally 7) he's really effective at telling people what they want to hear, filling their heads full of hopes and dreams, getting them to buy his training, and his minios generally won't want to hear what a real, seasoned lending vet will try to tell them.

Great company and local operation that does things right.Toledo is notorious for bad operators especially when it comes to contractors so the BRRR approach when investing out of state can end up in disaster.Just had a 1hr call with an investor that was going to purchase a property for cash and site unseen.A "reputable" realtor in town influenced him to buy without doing an inspection.Just by looking at the photo's, we could see a lot of problems with the property.Stay diligent and focus more on the people rather then the deals themselves.Much success

Attend meetups and meet as many people in RE as you can.

I’m not seeing any comparables listed or sold in the area recently in this bad shape. the last lot I posted for sale I undervalued it and then asked for a offer most saying “well it’s posted for 20,000” even though after talking to people, I started to see that they would happily pay more than that.
