Quote from @Timothy Frazier:
Is it a bad idea to use a hard money loan as a downpayment for a turnkey property? I have one in mind at Rent to Retirement.
It is extremely rare to find a hard money lender for the down payment. We will always require at minimum 10% of a down payment for a purchase. As stated previous neither lender would want to take the second position as well.

I too have never heard of any from that group. If the charge upfront run. If they give you a proof of funds letter without a full application and credit review burn it.

The biggest mistake is not truly understanding the exit strategy. I prefer to become a teammate rather than lender only.

Quote from @Mary Ainsworth:
As a hard money lender specializing in fix and flip deals, I can offer some insights on choosing the best lender for newcomers to the fix and flip market:
1. Seek competitive rates and terms: Compare interest rates, loan-to-value (LTV) ratios, and loan terms among different lenders. For example, lenders like me offer Hard Money Direct offers loans up to 90% LTV with 12-month terms.
2. Evaluate the lender's reputation and experience: Choose lenders with a proven track record who have been in business for a while and have reviews/testimonials you can talk to if you like
3. Assess the application and approval process: Lenders with streamlined processes, like same-day approvals offered by California Hard Money Direct, can be advantageous for new flippers.
Remember, the "best" lender will depend on your specific circumstances, including your location, the property you're looking to flip, and your financial situation. It's always a good idea to speak with multiple lenders and compare their offerings before making a decision.
I DM'd you with my info in case you'd like to get a quote from me as well, we're pretty competitive :)

I'm looking to broker a loan for a client completing a 10 property development. We had to decline due to being deemed too rural.
16,000 lineal feet of existing frontage with utilities, septic and wells. Five wells are installed already. A total of 9 lots are cleared. Two of the pre sold houses have foundation currently being poured and the second one being poured next week.
The client has a score of 739. Please message me if you would like to discuss further.

Afternoon BP,
I'm ready for my next multi in Bergen County NJ. Buy box is anywhere within Bergen, $1 mil to $1.2 mil but could stretch it a little more. Multifamily only, not interested in commercial etc. That puts it at a 3 to 5 unit building. Currently own 3 other buildings at 7 units in Bergen County and look forward to another. Willing to pay a finders fee and chat with any wholesalers. Thanks!
I may have a couple of options are you still within the market?

Hey BP Fam-
What is the best hard money lender for someone who is new looking to fix/flip?
The answer isn't necessarily which is the best lender. It is based upon the teammate that walks you through the process. From explaining the draw process to determining which exit strategy is best. Don't hesitate to reach out for other tips from the lender perspective.
