@Ryan Johnston There could be major differences between various lenders - here is a list of questions to help you bring them to an apple-to-apple comparison:Questions to ask when shopping around for a hard money loan What % of the ARV is leant outWhat is the interest rate?

I can't do an apples-to-apples comparison on the ROI because obviously, they're different markets - but they're all in the same ballpark.  

Your structure depends on your investors so it's important for you to understand what your investors goals, objectives, and expectations are.If you'd like some more information on this topic, it just so happens that my business partner and I recently did a talk titled 'How to Raise Private Money...Magnetically'.

I worked on a few bigger multi developments here in PDX and I got to think the lending is the same as in Apple country..

Good stuff up there.With me, especially because I've only accrued about 12 months experience in Chicago where we are buying right now, anytime I cannot identify true, apple-to-apples comparables, I might just pass on the deal altogether.Especially in Chicago where you have several types of homes (bungalows, ranches, cape cods, georgians, etc.), you really cannot comp one with the other unless it's the same style.Here are some general tips when comping homes:Never cross any major highways, and try not to cross any major streets if you can.

Macbooks are a standard in the real estate world and if you have an iPhone then just stick with Apple products.
