@Joe Splitrock Correct. I mentioned the Dakotas because of population. I really cannot originate a commercial mortgage in a town of less than 25k people or within 25 miles of a town with 100k people.

I'm not an expert as to why this is the case but many lenders list the same small list of states on the list where they don't lend. Most common you'll find ND, SD, TN, UT and VT. I believe TN is considered a "brick and mortar" state meaning you'll need a physical presence in that state to lend there. I'd like to learn more about why these states get blacklisted by national wholesale lenders but I'm assuming its just a bunch of red tape that makes it tough to do business.

@Jay Hinrichs I think table funding is very interesting. Not something I've done myself though. Maybe someday. Perhaps I'll reach out for some advice when I reach that cross road.

Alex part of the reason is the lenders don't want to go to the effort of getting state licensed for such small markets. they will do it for larger markets like Oregon CA etc.. just look at Lendinghome.coms market and their licensure..

That's the first clue.. some times beginners like said just look at owner occ rates and think that is normal for any and all lending.

so if you have never gotten a HML and you see that advertised your like Yahtzee I just scored :)

@Jay Hinrichs Thanks for posting this interaction Jay.

I think some of the signs were refusal of actual ownership, poor grammar, etc, and while that seems obvious as a red flag, these guys still get people. If they didn’t rip people off this way they wouldn’t do it, so we can say it is working.

Be careful out there folks.

The bad grammar doesn't help, but who knows these days.

I did fall into an up front money trap myself which was recommended here on BP. I say trap, but it probably wasnt. I just didn't realize the terms weren't going to work with anything I was doing.

Solid post. It's a struggle looking for private investors, trust is a big issue! I've stuck with banks so far but with 4 loans now, I might be forced elsewhere soon.

Bottom line private lenders are just that people you meet in person.. they do not advertise. ( Rare exceptions) and if they do then they are HML there has been a shift with some HML to say they are private to give the borrower an illusion of cheaper rates.. Keep in mind that anyone can pay to advertise on any of these sites.. no one should get a pass just because they are on BP.. or have a lot of posts etc. myself included.. There was a guy on this site named Wendell De Guzman who was a complete fraud.. but he posted a ton and lots of people followed him you had Handy Andy down in ATL.. some Bp folks got in a mess with him.. so on and so forth.

Even some podcast guests have been accused of taking advantage of investors. People need to understand that neither BP or really no website is vetting people.

You have to do your own due diligence in all aspects of business. I had a friend recommend a local investment that turned out to be a total scam. It was an organic fish farm - sounds boring and hardly what you would expect from a scam. The people running the scam had a nice office and smooth pitch. They targeted dentists and doctors, then used that as credibility for getting other investors. Saying "Doctor XYZ invested" as a way to lend credibility. Ultimately it turned out the two founders were a total fraud. They had lied about relationships and even their college credentials was a lie. They had not paid rent on the office space for months. If any of the investors had just made a couple phone calls, they would have been caught earlier. All they had in the end was a fancy PowerPoint and a high rent office down town.

Funny thing about targeting dentists and doctors (watch the movie Boiler Room) is that you have smart people, who are usually not financially smart, but have big egos. The scammer uses their intelligence and pride to talk them into things. They play off the ego by saying things like, "well you understand how these things work". So instead of the doctor or dentist saying, "no, I have no idea, please explain" they will usually just agree. This leaves high income professionals as a major "mark" for scammers.

Me personally, I am never ashamed to admit when I don't understand. I am the annoying guy in the audience that has ten questions at the end of the presentation. Every time people walk up to me afterwords and say, "I am glad you asked those questions, I didn't understand it either".

dentites are well known for being lousy investors...

I once worked with a Neuro-Surgeon who had the humility to pry and ask questions on investment proposals when he did not understand that almost bordered on being annoying because sometimes it was almost like arrrgh....."I can't believe I have to explain this". Respect!

Yeah my time is worth a lot these days.

If people want to be a secret commercial buyer they go in the trash bin.

You can tell just by the communication there is not any sophistication.

I HAVE TO see they are credible before I spend any considerable time with them. That requires they send me a personal financial statement. I am automating my new website now. Should be up by end of March. It has steps to through. The steps are not followed then you do not get to proceed.

My business. My terms. If we are not a fit the funnel forms qualify that without me spending precious time on them.

Lot's of flakes out there whether buyers, people wanting a loan, sellers,etc. You have to put them through a process to know who is easy and credible to deal with and who is just a royal pain or will not do anything anyways.

Certainly I think we in the real estate community have a duty to help others and especially as it relates to BP which many many members are just beginning their real estate journey so we dont want them being ripped off before they even get out of the gate.

And there is more to it then these scammers just boofing money from people.. many times investors have put up non refundable EM ( they lose that).. and their time and energy.. plus they miss the deal.. since they will not be able to close.

Thank you @Jay Hinrichs for sharing this. It's a shame that - especially as new investors - we all have to be exposed to these attempts of scams.

It also makes it harder to trust good people that want to actually form honest and positive business relationships. Sometimes they seem to good to be true.

I still believe that in their core every successful investor is a good person who wants the best for their closest ones, help people, and give back to others passing on their expertise in some sort of way.

@Jay Hinrichs Thanks for posting, it’s amazing how these people go to bed at night knowing how they scam people. That’s why it’s so important season or new investor to do a some leg work with vetting the people we do business with. As long as we do the best on our part at least we didn’t go in blindly as sometimes even the people we think we know can do a number on us.

I appreciate your shedding a light on this. Reminded me of all the fake borrowers I used to get as a Private lender.

Is a Certificate of Cooperation a thing??

What was the basic scam, were they trying to collect a fee or get you personal details?

I ran borrowers through Lexus nexus. Some interesting characters. These guys really want up front app fee. Points any of that then go dark :)
