Private lender. I fund construction draws, mostly Phoenix East Valley, plus the occasional mezz piece and a note or two when the paper trail is clean, which is rarer than sellers think.

Laundry at the flip ran 40 percent over my lake cabin ratio and I cannot figure out why
Solvent rags require a separate hot cycle, sometimes two, and that alone could close your 40 percent gap.
