Looking for some direction on Raw Land lender or hard money lenders who do land loans in Florida. My connections always seem to be thin when it comes to raw land in other states. Anyone know?

You may want to contact Joe Petrowsky --- he does mortgages in Florida and if he can't help you, he likely will know someone who can. He has incredible connections and very willing to help.

Raw land lenders are difficult to come by cheaply. At least in Cali. Unless you've got deep pockets and years of experience in developing looking for $$$ can be like pulling hens teeth.
