@Nick Rivers, where do you feel you are coming up short?  

I feel like overall there is a lot of unknowns here for the reduction in interest rate to be worth the premium.

I know you feel you are on top of it, and it sounds like a class A or B.

Because they have no clue what so ever what there talking about, and there posting there feelings. 

While the current conditions may feel challenging, they also present opportunities to fine-tune your strategy and stand out in a crowded market.Are you experiencing these trends in your portfolio?

Please feel free to DM me. 

We’d like to continue with this project remotely, but the idea of managing contractors and overseeing a renovation from afar feels a bit daunting.Have any of you undertaken a similar project?

I feel my money is best spent building a portfolio of cash flowing units.

Feel free to PM me. 

If he doesn't need the cash now, you could also negotiate a split you're comfortable with to get him the return you and he feel he should have at the point you refi when the balloon payment comes due.
