Greg,
I have no desire to argue with you, but never once did I state or imply that credit doesn’t matter to me. In fact, my website (www.rehabfunding.com) clearly lays out what I need for my underwriting decisions. As far as me being a hard money lender, I absolutely am. If you want a copy of an article that will better explain what a hard money lender is, what defines them, and what their role is, feel free to e-mail me at bobbeckman@rehabfunding.com, and I will send it to you. You would probably find it pretty informative. As far as your credit situation, I’m pleased that things have improved for you since we had spoken. Obviously at the time, I felt the need to decline doing business together. It’s clear that I did upset you, and that was not my intention. If you were local to Rehab Funding, or lived in a non-judicial state, I might be more tempted to deal with C&D credit situations, but this is not how my company is set up. That’s okay, no company can work with all situations. My point from the beginning is that the people that qualify for my rehab loan programs have all been very happy, and that’s why you don’t read complaints from people that have used my service, ever, on this website, and why I would furnish a long list of happy customers upon request.
I truly wish you much success with all of your real estate transactions, and I look forward to reading of your successes.
Thanks,
Bob Beckman

Hi Kurt,
The best way to find out about someone’s service is to talk to those that have actually used it, so if you like, please contact me and I will be happy to provide as many references as you like. You can ask them any question that you like. Always remember that those that haven’t used Rehab Funding are just guessing.
Good luck,
Bob Beckman

just guessing,mmmmmm NO! I spoke w/ you at 2 seperate times and your credit requirements are the same or maybe even a little more strict as the conventional banks that i deal w/ and they offer a much lower percent, a longer balloon, and 2 points upfront…

Brad, Does your bank settle within two weeks of your signing a sales agreement? Do they fund 100% of the sales price and 100% of the repair costs? Do they offer a Six Month-No Pay Plan? Also, I assume that the bank that you use will make you use your personal assets as collateral, you should remember that I don’t require this, only the property that you are buying. Anyway, I wish you well, and my point remains the same, if you want to know the true value of Rehab Funding, you should speak to people that have used it, and I will be happy to provide as many referrals as you could possibly want.
Good luck,

Hi Greg,
It is true that I don’t work with people that have poor credit. I don’t mean to offend, it’s just that I want to minimize the risk of default and the long and expensive court fight that comes along with it. I also lend in over twenty five states, and I have no desire to take over properties in various states of disrepair all over the country. I wish you well. There are sources that deal with C and D credit. Good luck to you.

From previous posts, you’ve stated that credit is not a
problem (if the numbers work). You haven’t offended me,
my credit is where it should be, now. What offends me is
the fact that people read your banner, your website and
your random posts here on creonline and get the feeling
that you’re a hardmoney lender, which you are not.
Looking at your interest rates and points you should be
lending to everyone. Yes hardmoney should be expensive
because of the risk and speed of funding but if a person
needs good to excellent credit just to qualify for your
programs, it makes no sense to use you.
