Leo Tolstoy said: “Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.” As a hard money lender with over twelve years of experience, allow me to wax poetic about my area of expertise. All successful rehab transactions are alike; every unsuccessful is unsuccessful in its own way.
