A larger company will advertise they build them.

But when their quote for larger projects is unreasonably high, we drive down and work on things we know are labor-cost-intensive through management while waiting for contractor estimate appointments.

These areas tend to offer slightly more flexibility, and depending on the size of the property you’re looking for, you might find larger units than in Portland.Also, as Scott mentioned, increasing rents in Portland can be a slow process, especially with the 10% cap or 7% + CPI limits, whichever is lower.

They have monthly meetings of both the larger group and various subgroups.    

Institutional private lenders operate on a larger scale with more structure and formality, offering quick and flexible funding but within a regulated framework.

Now that I have a property manager, I heard the %18 and believed that to be the total expense without realizing the additional (cleaning fee, lawn care, state taxes, pool care), etc...so the effective rate is much larger and my net take home much less than I anticipated.

On larger loan amounts saving .5-.75% might be a solid deal.

And have to work with larger numbers than you think.
