Investors have their lender, so it is their job to try and take them away somehow, meanwhile other outfits try to lure theirs away. 

I as well, when I broker to them I usually can get bridge loans closed in 3 weeks if title and insurance do not lag.I had said this before, it's rare that an entire lending outfit is bad. 

Based on "market rent" I did about 100 deals for one Philly outfit but they flamed out big time I am sure you read about them in the paper..

You can't globally judge Hard Money outfits. 

There are a fair number of outfits in Detroit that will do garbage renovations and slap high voucher S8 tenants into the properties and market them with high ROI to out-of-state investors.These are easy for locals or experienced investors to spot but a lot of people get sucked into them.

I have connections at all the big box and some of the boutique and a few private money outfits. 

The equipment the brake outfit didn’t want I sold for about $6k.  

Most bedrooms are outfitted with beefy bunk beds.

There's a few big national HML outfits that fund most of the bridge and DSCR loans. 

Is the home already outfitted with everything you'd need to operate as a STR?
