That is an interior heavy rehab, i.e. remodel kitchens and baths, new floors, fresh paint. 

Multiple, billion dollar companies are investing heavy in our area, such as Intel, Google, and Amazon.

I've found one Realtor whom I've yet to make contact with as he seems to be heavy into rentals but can't find anything on him rehabbing. 

It’s small stuff that’s compounded: first they had a non-functioning vehicle dropped at the back of the property after they totaled it.

The project is anticipated to facilitate access to/from major industries and freight destinations in Mobile and provide hazardous material vehicles a direct route away from the downtown business district.- The overall market has increased by 8.4% this year with the median apartment rent at $950.

With carrying costs, repairs, and previous unknowns, I am now looking at approximately $65k as we are doing nearly everything ourselves (I own heavy equipment and previously had a contracting/landscaping business).

In that scenario even though the given professional might have a heavy amount of experience in a handful of jurisdictions, they have someone on their team that they can pull in for areas they aren't familiar with. 

Finding these deals and being involved will take a lot of time and college has the risk of adding heavy debt.

In your case, the competition from cash-heavy buyers is driving prices beyond what makes sense for a commercial loan based on current NOI and DCR requirements.As for your dilemma, I’d recommend sticking to your numbers.

For bigger deals, it’s always a good idea to set up a new entity, like a special purpose vehicle (SPV).
