Assembly does chew up some time however.

OK guys, I am in the process of assembling a contact list so that we can coordinate who is going to be where and when.

Since I am willing to admit I've been responsible for assembling some of these threads, I can say that it is a bit of work to do that assemblage.I can only speculate that it would be LOTS of work to just have one big thread containing all those posts.

It will allow me to market more consistently and still be mailing something even if I didn't get a chance to assemble letters that week.

Trent no offense but you are talking about a pipe dream.So you have zero experience yet want a huge payout.I have worked for developers assembling land.My biggest project was on about 25 acres with a 600,000 sq ft mixed-use retail project with an after build value of 150 million dollars.Money is tight right now and unless you have an awesome piece of land most developers are doing repositions where they can reface a shopping center and make new again.This cost much less money than building from scratch.New development has a bunch large down requirements as construction projects are required in phases for lending.What I have seen happen is they bought a piece of land as a group.Leveled it with the first phase of money and then starting putting in pipes and concrete and the second round of funding fell through.They could line up more funding but it is much more expensive then what they had before and the percentages would affect to much the partners that have already put in money.So in those types of situations the partners would much rather wait for the lending environment to get better to get reasonable terms for the next round of funding to finish the project plus rent rates will have most likely improved by the time it is built instead of right now and concessions will be down.Holding costs while waiting is a concern but is balanced against other factors.The anchor for a big project like that will wait a few years if the location is that good.If it is a sub par corner the anchor will cancel their commitment and move to a better location instead of waiting for that one to be built.If you like development go work for a firm with experience and put in your time learning the ropes.To think about this other stuff is a waste of time.

We've got a good Colorado contingent here on the site, and I believe that Anson Young is trying to assemble a regular meeting of BP'ers.

There was a great BP thread on this a long time ago. http://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/52/topics/68041A few things I've been doing lately: smoke detectors w/ 10 year batteries, glue drain assemblies under kitchen and bath sinks (high fail rate with junk screw pvc), removing storm doors, also going to ad a storm door addendum.
