The good news is that I have a relationship with a builder I like and trust! 

As long as there are no visible issues your good, No news is good news 

@Shane Duncan buddy this is really great news.

This happened about a week after we sold a property in that same zip code.https://www.wmar2news.com/news/local-news/jalil-george-young...

well I have bad news for you: Arthur Anderson and Enron did the same thing.  

Agree with @Joe Funari - we only work with local/community banks and regional banks - they are quicker to respond, take a personal interest in partnering with your real estate business to see it have success (which makes sense, because they want you to make good on your loans), and offer much better rates than hard money loans - we don't pay any origination fees, they can even fund in less than 30 days, and interest rates have never hit double digits over the past 2 years.  

Another option ($$$) Might be to engage an advertising company, and have them flood the local radio, TV and Internet With bi-weekly news stories about the coming business, focusing on the number of jobs that will be created.The number of jobs both for construction workers to build it, and the number of employees that will staff it over the shifts it will be open.

I would suggest setting up to get paid via direct deposit or another digital medium.

Good news is the refinance paid off all my debt/repairs.
