CRE is in trouble, particularly large office buildings in big metros with a lot of vacancy. 

I grew up in Erie, PA but I am currently an officer in the Army stationed at Fort Stewart which is near Savannah, Georgia.

A couple million dollar apartment building, office space, etc...

Nancy......the answer to learning about becoming an REI.....do your own FREE homework....read books on RE....RE finacining....befriend a loan officer near you and pick thier brain....the same with a realtor..... as some one else suggested, attend a local pre RE class....

If it's a single member LLC then they prefer to have an officer sign, which would be you and your legal name.

Speeding up the pickup and drop is helpful in cutting down on time, however the Architect (and their office) are the ones to make the actual drawing changes.

Do right by them and word spreads, momentum is built and eventually you are raising money from PE firms, family offices etc. if you care to grow beyond your personal network's means. 

.: There are companies that provide this and I even believe some do a revenue share with apartments.We had looked into this a while back for some of our properties.Not a bad revenue stream and a nice little perk to have new EVs charging near the clubhouse/office where new prospective residents can also see them. 

Fed's can talk all they want about "creating" however millions of homes, it changes nothing unless Harry Potter comes into office and shezams them into existence. 

Also work with trusted lenders, look for reviews, etc .. since there are many unqualified loan officers pushing term sheets to get you to pay for an appraisal and switch the terms on you at the very last minute.
