The options are pretty endless as I am sure you have been exposed to just reading through the numerous forums.

Everything I've read and listened to on BP says it takes numerous cycles of DM to start getting leads.

This can facilitate permanent financing where it otherwise would be a dead end.

I was able to do that numerous times during my estate building years.Once you are able to answer many of the questions I stated above as to risk tolerance etc., it would be easier for others to give you suggestions as to which way they would go.

I think you are in a great position with numerous choices available to you.
