best wishes  i dont do gap funding at all.. so no.. not something I would do we do JV deals every week but we have zero debt all cash and we control the process. 

If you start a JV in name but do not give your partners proper control and decision-making rights and the deal goes bad you open yourself up to serious consequences which can lead to SEC violations with extremely high fines.Lastly, you can offer the project up to investors who have no voting or control.  

However, I don't know from a practical point of view if it's doable 2) Condo vs townhouse vs cashflow: I noticed condos  and townhouses are way cheaper in fort myers FL ( however risk of hurricanes) and maybe more opportunity for cash flow.

FDCPA controls debt collection and makes sure that buyers  of defaulted debt don't threaten borrowers with violence , phone calls in the middle of the night and non-existent jail sentences for failure to repay.

It is sad that no enforcement can even go after their fraudulent business practices. 

Like Fiya, posting about my loss and this frustrating experience will hopefully expose this company's faulty practices and help others steer clear of Tyler Deveraux, Ryan Woolley, MF Capital Partners, MFM, their new companies, and groups like them. 

Current financing available, construction costs and how to reduce them, appraisal trends, best practices when building on investment properties, rental values, design trends, how to minimize the construction time, which cities are helpful and which aren't, etc.

There is a formula that you must follow if you want to perform, having a realtor who knows the market inside and out and practices what they preach is an absolute necessity.

You didn't mention what kind of law you're practicing.
