I don't necessarily want the cheapest, just the best value from someone who is competent, reliable, professional and who would be willing to maintain a relationship.

Once the remodel was done, I went to the same local bank my friend was using (I already had a credit line and relationship with them) and they did appraisal and I refi'd, paying off the private $ lender in full.

Really just seeking people who can share ideas and for fruitful relationships in REI.

I have been learning and following advise to network, form relationships.

Projected ARV $275K+Lender #1 (with whom I already have a relationship)80% LTV (as complete) lender for 1-4 family residence, will finance 80% of purchase and 100% of the rehab 75% LTV lender for mixed-use, should I decide to not convert the commercial unit to residential5 year note/25 year amortrate is locked at commitmentno prepayment penalty7% interest only during construction period (up to 12 months), 5-5.5% locked rate following permanent mortgage conversionone closingno bids, estimates, or invoices required from contractors after we submit the initial Work Scope.

It's more about building relationships and determining what the particular lender wants to invest in.

The opportunity to be of value can come in many different ways, and we each have our own talents. i.e. architecture, networking, design, cold calling, and more vs some people work a lot of hours and only have the time to put money into the stock market and look to diversify but dont always know where to go, so the opportunity to build those relationships with people for the long term will always be the way to go in this business. 

I would be grateful for any insight and would love to learn how I can create a mutual benefitting relationship for success.
