Now, I am currently interning with a boutique developer in Boston focused on multifamily and my plan is to not only learn from them but also try and do my first deal in partnership with them.

Many lenders are using an internal construction loans to replace Homestyle, ChoiceReno, and 203k out of simplicity.

I am pretty sure internal Wells Fargo has more information and analysis about this business.  

@Penny PengBig piece missing here - what is the best component ?

As for short-term financing, they are fairly easy to work with but the biggest hurdle is their internal credit model.

My daughter interned in collage for an appraisal company that specialized in government takings and she did the valuations on the property fronting the Napa River. 

International company NNN.  

International market usually uses Cubic meters. 

While it's true that if the seller entered into a contract with a new buyer and wanted the same title company to provide escrow and title services that title company may want the release signed for their own internal audits, there would be no reason seller and new buyer couldn't just retain a different title company to handle the job.
