We would love to have honest updates with progress. 

If you are going to be doing all the legwork, guaranteeing notes and have the expertise to execute and all you need is capital, one of the first two options might be your best bet.

However, it would seem as though the BP Pro is the best bet.   

They'll take pride in working for such a reputable brand, and you can bet they'll be fired up to achieve the company's goals. 

I am a big fan of maintaining a performance dashboard in my other business (Veterinary Clinic) as I structure it to show in both chart and graph form my progress in various metrics over time for my business.

Go to meetups, tell your story, and I bet you'll find experienced investors that will help you out (by giving you advice, not by cutting you a check or partnering). 

Single family homes to a $2M apartment building is a quick progression. 

If we pass inspection and everything goes well I would be looking for a 10 year lease, with another slow progression on rent until we finish the remaining portion of the property.
