@David Michael I lead the Pacific Northwest for Builders Risk as an Underwriting Manager, there are various things to consider when looking for builders risk.Underwriters will want to see: Gantt Chart (Schedule), Budget Breakdown by Division, Site Plan and Elevation Drawings, and GeoTech Report.

There are several homeowner lists from consumer databases that can identify people likely to be ready to sell their homes.These will only be for owner occupied, as absentee owners rely on the tax bill address which is public data.Work with a list broker to get reports that could include:Homeowners with Low Financial Stability Scores (FSS)Seniors with Long-Time OwnershipThese lists are also quite effective in crowded markets where the Absentee Owners are already getting too many offers in their mailbox.FYI - SC isn't unique in the unavailability of Absentee Owner lists.

Every private money loan is unique, so it's always best to be clear before signing anything.

My hope is to gain some insight into local materials/labor pricing,  unique rehab challenges in older homes, and possibly see analysis for some of the creative value add strategy talked about on the podcast these days. 

I have 2 rentals within a couple of blocks from one another and in the same sub-division. 

I'm working on financing a 4 acre property in Rock Hill SC with a unique home. 

Hi @Daniel Leonardis -For our direct mail campaigns, we use unique phone, email and landing page URLs for each side of the test ... this let's us track each form of engagement that a lead might choose. 

Numbers, unique situations, Airbnb, renting rooms, lessons learned, property type, areas, analysis, etc.

On the demand side there is of course the US Census data but that's often lagging so you might want to check with something more local such as the RI Division of Statewide Planning population projections 2010-2040.

Do they currently invest in real estate themselves or do they have a division that does?
