My places are cabins, so when I am outfitting a new cabin, I am typically in the market for log beds, solid hickory dining sets, and durable, sturdy antiques.

They have a more modern view the marketplace than some of the other, more traditional outfits like MDS.When I was active in senior housing, I was the in-house feasibility study point person doing both the forensic analysis of the market and competition ultimately making the recommendation for go/no-go on a project.

I can't speak for any other Lenders, but my outfit would not have any issues with this. 

Many homeowners opt for quartz for its low maintenance and versatility, but granite remains a timeless and elegant option. 

I don’t know any wholesalers or wholesaling outfits that would allow an inspection clause.  

So,  if you are serious and have some experience, you can probably cut a few years off your business development trajectory, and save more than the $15-$20K fee by retaining this outfit.

The real estate outfit I met with out of state says that they have California investors, and they tell a different story.

If i am not mistaken, your lender is private money, some developer or contractor, that  will absolutely get their money out of the project even if you loose money...But, I appreciate your willingness to stick to your guns, it's the hallmark of big wins AND big losses.If/when you can pull it off a few times, you should think about syndication, as I would gladly put money with an outfit that can get it done for sub $200 per sq. ft on a consistent basis, in a major metro, during this level of inflation.Seriously, best of luck and I hope you prove them/me all wrong and get it done.

It seems like everyone wants to get into the wholesale market since it's the new "get rich quick with no money" racket and the better deals seem to be landing in the more experienced outfits hands.Most of my clients have been looking in the Kalamazoo/Battle Creek and Muskegon markets due to the lower price points and better rents/vs/sale price ratios.   

I know the whole mentoring space is full of charlatans and "those who can't, teach," but I've done my due diligence and this outfit has legitimate results, so I'm comfortable moving ahead.What I'm struggling with is if I actually want to own or be responsible for a large apartment complex.
