I happen to only finance projects that are rentals that my gcs partners do the work on, so I have a somewhat unique business model.

Works in some places, doesn't even come close in others. 70% isn't really a rule either - every deal is unique, so if you peg yourself into these "rules" you will miss out on everything that just barely doesn't fit in the rigid box of rules. 

I love what I do and I love knowing that I'm adding value to investors world wide who are interested in investing in Milwaukee.I want to hear from other agents / investors who are just starting out that have perfected the craft of managing 10+ investors who all have extremely unique investment parameters. 

I have them under separate LLCs with individual accounts as of now because they are all unique properties that are also kind of businesses.

@Roger, your situation sounds unique and could present some issues if there is a loss at the location.

We have a very unique, and challenging real estate market in the New Orleans area.

A few of the challenges we had to face on this project were: keeping the historic exterior paint color, white with unique teal trim.

However, always good to talk to an attorney as every deal is unique.

@Melanie HeigesThe cable from Spain to Virginia Beach has been laid underground finally and there is going to be a giant data hub similar to Ashburn VA near corporate landing.There’s tons of develop that is going to create jobs and hopefully make the market boom.They are also building a giant sporting complex near the convention center.

I do know a good bit about development because my father has done several sub-divisions on his own over his life as well as my professional job as an architect gives me a very unique perspective and knowledge base that most people in REI will never have.
