In the time since I first joined biggerpockets,  we've launched a roofing company that's being franchised nationally, a toxicology lab, a scrubs company with Patch Adams' foundation, and a handful of other ventures - but investing in real estate I feel like a permanent neophyte!

Wanted to see if anyone could give me some lender/private money recommendations for build to suit ground up development for a couple national fast food/QSR retailers in the Seattle metro area.

After speaking with the sisters, I decided my best course of action would be to screen two other women who the sisters said would like to replace the couple on the lease.

"women lie, men lie, numbers DONT lie" as the great poet Lil' Wayne once said lol.

We're so incredibly focused in this nation on dollars and success, titles and achievements, we often forget we're in it together.

We have a huge national housing shortage. 

Go to the National *** of PM’s.

Home ownership rates nationally dropped from around 66% to 62% during that period.

I have also heard good things about Eldorado National Bank and Ozona Bank.
