With your banks, you're going to have to walk through a lot more red tape (you should keep it in mind especially being that this is an STR property).

(I received a letter that was actually taped to a huge bouncy ball, yes I opened it)Greeting cards are one of the most opened mail out there.  

Demolition, grading, underground utilities and asphalt paving.

I replaced the ceiling in the garage because we know the ceilings were taped and bedded only and were not really sheet rocked correctly. 

So next time talking to a potential GC on your budget $100k project, and he pulls up in a busted 90's chevy with a duck-tape window and tailpipe holding on via hanger wire..... yeah you shouldn't be thinking "wow, his bid looks cheap", should be thinking "wow, he can't afford to be a GC". 

We paid for her to learn dry wall, mudding and taping.

Everything is old and held together by duck tape.

U have to bring 5 to 10k per file into the business to stay in business you have to get it one way or the other . then charge interest .I have used Kiavi and lima when my bank loans were taped for new builds..

By working with the commercial banker i can buy in my LLC and dont need all the red tape and qualifiers required by the secondary market. regarding secondary market loans, I have asked many bankers about secondary market financing of rental property, there are some universal requirements, on a cash out (what i would be doing)  I would need to have the property in my personal name for 6 months ore more, I would need cash reserves in the bank to cover in the event of vacancy,  would be limited to generally 10 loans. and the cost to do the loan is about $3500 so when i need small dollar loans, spending that much just to close a deal, i can absorb some rate risk over a shorter term deal.

From what I understand, and I may be incorrect - the cost of a metal roof is about the cost of 2 or 3 asphalt shingle roofs.
