Are most searchers here using SBA loans to complete their deals?

I was very active here before completing my first transaction. At the time, I felt like an outsider as a self-funded searcher whose plan was to use SBA funds to complete my transaction. Are there very many people here who still raise an actual search fund and then acquire large, multi-million dollar companies?

You won't find a better deal if you are eligible and can stay under the cap.

We would do it again, but using SBA to acquire real estate was a hassle. Would probably look at different routes in the future for that.
