Hello MBA community! Today an investor, Hope D., was referred to me by an acquaintance in the Gator lending community. She needs to refinance a small mixed use property located in North Carolina. It has a commercial space on the first floor and a three bedroom apartment on the second floor. The apartment is rented long term to three tenants, one room each. According to Hope, she had been working with three other lenders, all of whom either were very slow or did not communicate well. She is now up against her deadline to secure new financing. She states she feels that only a private money lender can help her at this point given the time constraint. Is this a reasonable assumption? I’m still early in my training so I’m not yet familiar with all the resources available to us. If both parts of the property are rented she may qualify for a new loan, but given the tight timeframe maybe she needs a short bridge loan?

I just closed my 3rd deal in Sept for a Refi Cash Out in Norfolk, VA with a client in Cincinnati,OH. Funding will take place Thursday. I have 2 more deals that is also at the finish line for this month or the first week of Oct.

What are some effective ways to win trust from borrowers when you’re just starting out?

Just wanted to share something with everyone. Over the past few weeks, I poured time and energy into two deals… and both of them fell through. Not gonna lie, it stung. But instead of letting it slow me down, I feel even more fired up. Why? Because I know this business is built on consistency. Deals will come and go, but showing up day after day, running the numbers, making the calls, and staying in the game, that’s what creates momentum. So while I lost two deals, what I really gained was more clarity, more grit, and more motivation to keep pushing forward. Consistency is key, and I’m doubling down. If you’ve hit a wall recently, keep your head up. The next win is always closer than it feels.
