Looking to hear some people's experiences with direct / private lenders and if you are open to it sharing, who was used.  How many times have you used them?

BUMP. Really guys, no one has an opinion on this??? Granted it was a holiday weekend but come on :-)

@Dave S.

It depends on what you're doing because most don't do every type of loan or even genre or real estate. I always advise investors to go through a lender who is organized as a Reg D or A fund with SEC exemptions as they comply with regulations, statutes, have loan servicing vendors and generally better than the average joe hard money lender. 

They also have the widest array of loan programs and products.
