    Meeting Topic: Lending Panel – Financing Options for Real Estate Investors

    Join us this Thursday, February 5th for our next Coastal Carolina REIA Monthly Meeting, featuring a Lending Panel Town Hall discussion designed specifically for real estate investors.

    Whether you’re working on your first deal or scaling a growing portfolio, understanding today’s lending options is more important than ever. This month, we’re bringing together a panel of trusted lending professionals to discuss the current financing landscape and answer your questions.

    We’ll cover a wide range of lending strategies including:

    • DSCR Loans

    • Hard Money Funding

    • Conventional & Non-QM Mortgages

    • Commercial Bank Loan Options

    • Financing for flips, rentals, and long-term holds

    • What lenders are looking for right now

    This will be a town hall-style event with plenty of time for live Q&A, giving members and guests the chance to ask questions directly and hear real-world insights from multiple lenders in one room.
