They would only lend up to a certain percentage of the fair market value of the property, that way in the event of default, the hard money lender would profit handsomely if they had to foreclose or sell to an end buyer.

My builds are fairly quick and have been completed in 2-3 months.  

Although some of the work seemed fair there were other parts that were crazy high.

Hi Chris, Welcome.I'm in East Syracuse and I'm fairly new as well although I'm working on scaling up in the next year or so.

@Dalyn Bencosme Welcome.We've got a fair number of members from Lynn.

Check with some smaller service providers who want to stay busy.You are next to a fairly busy road.  

The above numbers are rough and will be fine-tuned but the main question is, assuming the numbers meet our criteria, what's a fair way to split the partnership interest? 

It hasn't failed but the portfolio lenders have all said they require it to be repaired prior to doing an appraisal.I did get the property fairly cheap and the seller said he is under financial strain so selling is a priority for him.

I want to be fair to the seller and not disclose more info here.

Some negative effects include a stronger dollar further damaging already crippled emerging market economies, increasing the deficit due to higher interest on our massive debt, and damaging a fairly fragile housing recovery (we are still building far below what we did in 2007).
