What To Look For in a Private Money Lender (From the Other Side of the Table)

[Tua Fualautoalasi]

Thought I’d share a few tips based on what I’ve seen in deals across multiple markets:

✅ Speed matters — a good lender should move as fast as you do
✅ Communication is key — you want someone who picks up the phone
✅ Flexibility — deals don’t always fit in a perfect box

Whether you're flipping, buying rentals, or building, choose someone who actually understands investors.

Curious what your must-haves are when working with a lender?
