You’re not imagining it, immigration status does affect how some hard money lenders price risk, even if the deal itself looks solid.

While De La Cruz supports the creation of a special visa, other Republican leaders, like Senator John Cornyn, argue that changes to immigration laws should wait until the border is fully secured.

Sent them emails, text messages made offers and essentially focused on people who would come into contact with sellers: agents, brokers, financial consultants, ministers, friends, family, small business owners, even a funeral home owner.
