good afternoon,Does a private/ hard money lender Lend money in a rural area?

But maybe I am not rich enough to be able to spend that type of money for a fancy place to sleep .

With the fix and flip 2 of us were contractors and 1 was the money guy who was still swinging a hammer.

And will the lenders take into the consideration the money that I'm earning now and from my business?

I never felt that the claim against either of us was a valid one, but my opinion didn't make any difference: Someone was suing us for damage and seeking a significant amount of money, and both we and our homeowner client had to cooperate fully with the insurance company.The insurance company zeroed in on the condition of the stairs and railings.

I haven't payed anything upfront so it is not a money issue, more the fact that there are half done jobs left behind and another gc for sure will quote me more to pick those back up.

If I have a buyer client who has contractually agreed to whatever fee we discussed, and they are interested in an off market property, you bet I will attempt to save my client money by negotiating all or some of my compensation from the seller. 

Someone correct me if I'm wrong here - and I'm not familiar with TX - but from what I've read in IL is as long as you're lending money to an LLC / Corporation (not an individual), you can charge higher amounts (maybe even any amount you like).
