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?

Does anyone know anyone that can do gap or short term funding for multi family syndicators?

What’s your best marketing channel? Just curious

You see a post where a commercial property is for sale what could be said in the comments about offering financing ? To draw out someone to you

What’s one red flag 🚩 that makes you walk away from a potential borrower immediately?
