In some instances, institutions will give out accreditations if agents do marginally more work than what is required of them anyways for continuing education credits.

@Anthony Thompson Thanks for the note and suggestions of lending institutions. 

He has been owner financed by another LLC (not a financial institution).

I tried helping him, but all financial institutions I talk with do not want mortgage notes as collateral... they want either actual real estate or receivables.I also have a (small) hard money lending operation of $1m and am interested in growing it... so I am tying to help my friend to also potentially piggy back in the future on whatever he does (ideally developing a relationship with the same lender).Does anyone know a lender that would lend to a successful hard money lending business wanting to leverage?

Financing on these whether again short (private money) or long (institutional money) will be more expensive and require a larger down payment  both because the nature of these deals are riskier than SFR's but also, as you stated, this is your first in this asset class.
