I'll also add that some architects can help you dial in those soft costs during early project consultations.

A complete waste of added costs to construction and they actually reduce the amount of rain water that will ultimately be used on the soft scape of the property.

If your commercial market is even a little bit soft (and a lot are downright squishy these days) you should have your tenant in place before you even approach your lender for construction financing.

I use the term hard and soft or known and unknown costs.

Step 4: Aggregate your feedback based on the soft commits you get from these potential LPs and narrow down your acquisition criteria and make it a weekly practice to send these deals out to your network that has expressed interest.

The first one (ideally around $300k) is to cover pre-construction soft costs, have some liquidity and keep the family's living expenses and the second one would be used to fund the project itself.We would most likely need a loan with deferred payments or use the money from the first loan to pay interest only on both loans.So our goal right now is to figure out whether this is even possible with given circumstances.Are there any other options for something like this?

Floors seem firm, no soft spots. 

My geo domes don't appreciate well b/c it is a soft shell.

Wow, $200/ft is quite expensive, especially if that doesn't include soft costs.. 

I softly pitched him the idea and benefits of seller financing a property.I’m such a closer!
