There is an opportunity by necessity to shift perspective from potential buyer, to investor or lender with lower risk, more efficient usages of capital and considerable strategic and investment advantages for all related parties.If any individual or institutional investors with private lending or mortgage experience have suggestions on how to begin or grow a small boutique private lending organization, I'd imagine there are many Oregonian property owners and investors that are awaiting your expertise or example.

I've flipped some homes in Grand Rapids since its my home market and as a Real Estate Broker my focus is on investors and flips so I have quite a bit of experience in this sector. 

Hi -- I'm looking for a tax attorney or CPA with experience and expertise in self-directed IRAs. 

Compounding this sector is that commercial mortgages are often of shorter duration and more sensitive to rate increases than residential securities. 

Love to get your expertise and thoughts.

This is an opportunity for you to confirm they have the expertise you need.
