@Craig McLaughlin Apples and Kumquats.

I hope this post reaches you.I do a lot of my REI from my iPad Pro w/ apple magic keyboard... a laptop is too much to lug around and I can’t be efficient with an iPhone.

This can give you a good idea of what your total cost will be, and it can also provide a valuable apples-to-apples comparison between hard money lenders.If you do choose to go the hard money route, the "Network" tab on BiggerPockets has a hard money section where you can view a list of reputable hard money lenders.Best,Michael

This helps you compare apples to apples each building.
