Quote from @Mani Sundaresan: If I’m financing a rehab project with a hard money loan, do I still need to issue 1099-NEC forms to my contractors—given that the funds come from a loan, which isn’t taxable income?

I've used those before for shot-term funding for renovations/rehabs in projects.

Hey @Brad Roche - We do a significant amount of renovation loans (both Fannie May & FHA) here in Chicago and prefer the Homestyle loan only because it's less stringent on the borrow about what they have to repair, and they provide the general contractor a material draw at closing which helps the project start on the right foot.I thought the minimum down payment was 5%.

I have some DSCR lenders that will lend based on AirDNA projections.  

(Starbucks / yoga studio / craft brewery /boutique cookie,coffe or ice cream shop  are the easiest targets)-Activation of dormant retail sites-Increased foot traffic For B to AAbove also apply-Home valuations (are homes in the increasing at rates above nearby or similar neighborhoods)-Is it walkable or are projects in place to make it highly walkable for residents-Is it near highly desirable activity centers -is it unique (for example - Can it get historic designation)

This is the largest Adaptive Reuse project that I've taken on. 

Hi BiggerPockets Community,I’m Josh, 26 years old, current project manager and aspiring asset manager diving into a new venture that I’m excited to share.

Only if it looks well off from otherwise projections would I worry something like hotel listings might be throwing it off

A realtor who understands the numbers can help analyze the property’s projected cash flow and ROI, plus they might know local leads from probate attorneys or even “drive for dollars” efforts that can reveal off market gems.

Neighborhood revitalization projects, major corporate investments, and an influx of small businesses were all happening at a pace that made it clear the city is on an upward trajectory.From an investor’s perspective, Detroit offers a unique combination of affordability and opportunity.
