What I can say is that the soil felt soft but that could have been because of all the leaves (I don't think so).

As the CFO of a developer, I’ve got a soft spot for folks chasing financial freedom through real estate, and I’d love to weigh in on your plans while tossing an idea your way.Your short-term rental game is fire—$70k net from three NJ apartments near NYC is no joke, especially supporting your family with it.

Ideally flipping to build up some capital then holding when it makes sense.P Peter, I am a local hard money lender with direct decision making, underwriting, in house valuations, and soft pull on credit.

@Jeff Nash and @Doug Smith - We are soft piloting a partnership program with Real Estate Professionals that want to bring this to their local market. 

I think that’s a good idea, and it offers a soft launch to my real estate journey, like you said.

While hard/soft money lending is outside my area of expertise, I'd like to discuss a potential levered IRR scenario.Consider a $2.1 million property acquisition (10 cap) using a 1031 exchange with a $715,000 down payment.

Not only is land so expensive, but the process of rezoning the land not only requires a lot of capital of soft costs that are really expensive and often not financeable, but then you have to build on it which is also not cheap.

There's one reputationally aggressive fund, if not the most aggressive, that's tried to up the ante in QC to create this as they believe it's a threat to USD-- I know you don't-- that even admits it's a far larger reach than the solution for the blockchain fixing itself via latency, soft forks, etc.You do realize if QC becomes scalable and defeats any fork attempt or latency attempt to a blockchain, then all digital security is at risk.

Additionally, they've avoided 40-50 hard credit inquiries populating on their credit as a result of the soft credit inquiry that we utilize for DSCR loans.If DSCR loans are a new thing to you, I would recommend checking out some articles here on Bigger Pockets or giving me a call to learn more.

As for soft costs, you’re looking at a fair amount for a condo conversion-there are legal docs to have drawn up, reviews, surveys, recordings, setting up the HOA, reserve studies etc.
