Post: Are there any good lenders?

Private/hard money lenders can be very transactional and hands-off. They’re often looking for a passive investment and/or a quick close to profit on their fees. This transactional lending philosophy is very prevalent as borrowers tend to constantly shop for the lowest price for their money. My theory why people rarely post praises for their lender is they just don’t have that much to say about them. The lender either wasn’t involved in the project besides cutting the check(s) or didn’t bring any additional value to the table. The borrower doesn’t have much to say unless things go poorly. And when they go poorly, they can go very, very poorly. 

I lend through my family’s company here in Oregon. Not trying to toot our own horn but we know how this industry works and try to be different. Private/hard money rates/fees can be expensive, and in our opinion borrowers should get a lot more value for that investment.
