Unfortunately, people in the trades are often good at their trade but poor at managing their business.

Im looking to secure financing for my real estate business.

My company is licensed in 31 states for owner occupied loans (check my profile) and I can lend in 45 states for business purposes loans (nonQM and dscr loans).

Paid off HELOC, paid off business credit ($70k) that was personal guaranteed.

Staying involved in a business partnership while dissolving the marriage will rarely work.If you split the properties, I recommend hiring a good property manager.

I recommend reading the book traction and following EOS - they have a one page business plan that is awesome to follow. any planner can work it's a matter of creating the plan and how to monitor and follow through with it which eos teaches

If you own a business even if it's a pass through LLC for your real estate you have to file a BOI Report by the end of this year.BOI stands for Benefit ownership information. 

I am considering starting a new real estate business in the Denver area and would love some feedback on the idea.

I have a commercial property with four retail spaces and three different businesses.

This is why I have an experienced legal counsel involved early in the process. cool  kind of like companies that factor business's account receivable.
