Hello! My wife and I are current real estate investors looking to expand our portfolio into the STR market and we have identified a potential opportunity in the upstate of SC. Capital is always a major hurtle though, so I wanted to ask if anyone had any recommendations on how to build relationships with private lenders or knew anyone that would be willing to walk us through the private lending process. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! We haven't done anything outside of conventional lending so this would be a new journey for us, but we're excited to learn!

I've become a little more active here in the past few months. As I finish up my latest deal, my next step would be to maybe try a flip.  I wanted to connect with wholesalers and lenders with knowledge of pre-foreclosures. I would appreciate any input or connections you all may have. 

I am located in North Metro Atlanta.

I have a nice portfolio of my own properties and have a bunch of Airbnb and multi family homes. I have been a real estate broker for 16 years and have experience from apartment rentals to commercial leasing and sales. 

I am new to Boca Raton and starting a brokerage here. I still have a brokerage with agents in Boston MA. I will also start to advertise for business brokering as I already have 2 listings for sale.  

Right now since I am just getting going I would be a huge asset to a buyer who wants something specific. I will go out and hunt down exactly what you want off market. Many of the homes I purchased myself were specific target homes that I scooped up off market. 

If you play tennis or golf even better. Lets network over a game! 

Hey Everyone,

I’ve been having more conversations lately with people struggling to line up funding—either their hard money lender changed terms, their bank pulled back, or deals just aren’t penciling out with current rates.

So I wanted to open up a conversation:

How are YOU funding your deals right now?

- Are you using hard money, private lenders, DSCR loans, partnerships, or creative financing?

- Have you noticed any big changes in what lenders are offering you this year?

- What’s working best for BRRRRs, flips, or value-add multifamily in your market?

I’d love to swap notes, share some lending insights, and connect with others active in this space.

Hi! I'm looking for recommendations on best fix and flip lenders that service CT. 

Over the past few weeks, I’ve had a noticeable uptick in conversations with investors who’ve had their lenders suddenly pull out of Florida — sometimes right in the middle of a deal. Some are seeing stricter guidelines, others are getting no quotes at all. It’s definitely creating some friction, especially for folks trying to move quickly in a competitive market.

That said, I’m still seeing deals getting done. There’s capital out there - but it’s taking a bit more strategy, stronger structuring, and knowing which lenders are still active and comfortable in Florida.

Are you running into similar issues with lenders backing out or changing terms last minute? Have you found any new strategies or workarounds that are keeping your deals alive?

Would love to hear how others are adjusting — and if you’re stuck on something or just want to talk through options, feel free to reach out. Always happy to connect with other folks working in the Florida space.

I’m trying to find a hard money investor, I’m found a couple properties that I would like to buy and maybe a small apartment complex. What are some thing I should watch out for in hard money lender and what are some pros I should look out for? Thank your for the advise!!!!!

Sorry if this isn't the right forum...

Title/Escrow is asking us to provide the interest rate or note and lender instructions for current deal. We utilize a private individual for loans. We've done two projects and have never had to provide this to escrow. They will simply draft a deed of trust.

The interest rate or note -- no big deal as we have that. But, not sure why they need it for deed of trust preparation.

Secondly, not sure what to do about lender instructions. Does anyone have a template handy for a private loan? What are the main elements we should include?

Thanks!

Hi BP community,

We're foreigners (Swedish), building SFR in SWFL in the affordable segment. We're now seeking a short term stabilised bridge loan for 1, potentially 2 properties valued at $310.000 each. We're strong in liquidity and have a few more projects where we could possibly do the same thing in a few months. Please note min. 80% LTV, no ridiculously high origination and No brokers please.

Thanks
