I personally work for a Real Estate Investing company, but live in SE Portland.

Several pluses in having the take out loan set just waiting for the qualified buyer.As to points: Again, points are prepaid interest, private lenders are not HMLs, they are not in the business, they are not registered lenders or regulated per se and most states limit points, if allowed at all, points are still computed and applied to any usury limit.

SE Ma is a different animal and I know people who are doing well in that market.

To be honest, I do think the market for my area is heating up quickly, but this is the third house in 6 months (I only have 3) that's rented on the first day of showing, all in the 30032 zip of SE Decatur, metro Atlanta (B- or C+ neighborhoods). 

I'm SE Chicago.

We are planning on buying a condo or townhome in SE aurora and eventually renting that out when we can afford to buy a bigger place.

I too am from Grand Rapids with units in Lowell and SE GR.  

Is it in SE or NW?

I have a guy I would like to use for a few projects on my current rehab...he cut the grass the other day and wants to tear down a screen porch...I can se using him for quite a few things going forward because he does good work.

There is no multi-list per se for commercial though there are Loopnet & Costar and other commercial sites.NAICIR also has a website as well as other commercial brokers.
