Quote from @Brian Piechocki: Anyone with a different experience more recently?

My comments: But now we are experience a problem of extreme volatile on Bitcoin.

If so invest locally, gain experience and knowledge, scale up and go from there. 

Some of my Scottsdale connections who specialize in land deals have been whispering about how a few smaller outfits in Casper.. from what I’ve heard, outfits tucked behind older storefronts, have been matching buyers with off-market parcels that never even hit the usual channels.If you line up your financing carefully (no legal or tax advice here, just speaking from experience), you can sometimes lock in a deal that ages nicely over tthe years.

For those that rely on traditional methods and personal experience, I can understand this perspective.

I've met plenty of individuals with far more experience than me who have offered referrals, advice and so on but I'm looking for more handholding than is reasonable to ask for someone to provide for free.

I'm very new at all this and have zero experience or strategy.

What’s your experience been like with traditional lenders vs. private options like ours?

This minimizes risk and lets you build confidence as you gain more experience.
