Peer to peer lending

[D Higgs]

Considering hard money loans for flipping venture(s). Through my research noticed companies such as, Lending Club and Prosper.com which are peer to peer lending sites.

Seems pretty straightforward as far as a typical HML- higher interest rate, quick closing, credit check, etc. Wanted to know if anyone could share pros/cons of using this type of loans for REI? Any advice?

Thanks BP!

@D Higgs I prefer local lenders. Ask some experienced investors in your area for referrals. Build relationships with these local guys. You will see the difference verses working with a larger non local lender.
