But I'd suggest you definitely partner with an experienced investor.

Jeff - Sorry to hear you are experiencing delays in lease up. 

This way the broker can search hundreds of lenders (Including Easy Street Capital) instead of just hoping that one lender can get you a good deal.A direct lender can work very well for Conventional loans, but if you were hoping to get a good deal I would look elsewhere Or you could search for hundreds of lenders here on BP or online yourself and avoid paying broker fees..

This has led to increased insurance costs for some homeowners, while others have been mistakenly zoned into high-risk areas despite never experiencing flooding.If you believe your property was incorrectly placed in a flood zone, you can:✅ Request a Letter of Map Amendment (LOMA): If your property is above the base flood elevation, you can apply for a LOMA to remove it from the flood zone designation.✅ Get an Elevation Certificate: A certified surveyor can assess the elevation of your home, and if it meets FEMA’s criteria, your flood insurance premiums could be significantly reduced.✅ Appeal with FEMA: If you have evidence that your home is at a lower flood risk than designated, you can file an appeal with FEMA to reclassify your property.4.

Your definition of "cash flow" does not match what experienced investors teach or look for.
