How to qualify a HML

Hi All:

I am looking to establish relationships with HML for the purpose of getting future loans as well as helping rehabbers get a loan to take deals off my hand. How do I qualify a HML to make sure I am dealing with a stable reputable company?

Normally, you can check out their credentials and affiliations.

go to some rei meetings in your area and ask around,I have a great HML I would be happy to tell anyone about, and most people are probable the same way,I’m sure if someone had a bad experience then would be even more willing to talk

Thanks andydallas and privatemoneyNYC for your replies.

There is a list of HMLs on this forum, has their credentials been checked? Anyone have experience good or not with any of the ones that loan in NY?

Thanks again

mine doesn’t loan outside of Texas, I know there are hard money lenders that lender over many states, but there is something to be said about finding one that works in your general areea/

I look to my HML for guidance on certain aspects of deals, they know whats going on in the market and can be a great asset,

The relationship with you HML is just as important, if not more important as our relationship with you Elec/AC guy, contractor, etc
