I wouldn't try to negotiate too aggressively if you are not an active investor.

So the potential is there...but if I am underwater every month and stressed idk if that's worth it. 

I am trying to be more active and meet like kind real estate minded people.

So there is a miss-match and you end up paying more then you should.This is true for a small Canadian Controlled Private Corporation (CCPC) with "active" income - e.g. they manufacture widgets or provide a service to folks owning widgets.  

@James Walker,I’m active in Chattanooga but don’t do new construction there yet—I’m involved in ground-up in Tuscaloosa and Athens, AL for the time being.In any case, I'd be happy to serve as a resource for your new construction or Chattanooga-related questions!

I currently own one park in north Alabama and am actively looking for more to buy every day.

They probably prefer a more active control of their investment or are probably doing deals on their own. 

Is this group still active!

But like I said its only a handful of folks I would trust to be my clients for this type of activity far more risky than vanilla lending.

At same time your actively attacking Republic and free market capitalist ideology.
