I've also had experience with a couple of other lenders who portfolio their loans. Those are a snap. They typically give you an answer within days or a couple of weeks.

Hi Austin,
I myself am a wholesale buyer and I represent many clients that are as well. If you have deals that you come across that make sense to flip, I can easily connect you with a buyer. I would be happy to educate you on the different ways to structure these deals as well so you can do them with little to no headaches. Its actually very easy! Finding the deals is the challenge.
Best regards,
Matt Barry
