In my development I am building a few of my clients have had packages stolen and one theif even took the welcome mat :)  but these are normal front yards etc.  

The city's economic development initiatives have been attracting businesses and professionals, creating opportunities for real estate investment.

If you had not team in those areas and could not have reasonably developed one, then you missed thing.You say you’ve done well in Chicago.

This can be a game-changer for fix-and-flips, buy-and-hold investments, or new development projects.For lenders, it can mean earning higher returns, often in the range of 8-12%, backed by the property itself.

Have you heard of Singh Development Company or dealt with them?

They spend a ton of money on advertising their product and apparently have none left over to spend on product development.

Louis, but I work with investors/developers like yourself across the country.

If you develop a great relationship with local credit unions, you'll be surprised by what all they're capable of.   

You can do a trial and see if bank feeds connect, if it does, I would then recommend using it over QBO.One of my client that just started in development is short on funds so Xero was the only best option and they are using a local bank so we couldn't connect and a lot of manual entries. 

I know some mentioned about developing banking relationships and I totally agree with that, so here is what you do. 1) Open a business checking account in the name of your LLC to hold the assets. 2) Deposit your cash into that account to fund the real estate purchases3) After owning for 60-90 days, talk with a local lender about a line of credit against the 2 properties at 60% LTV. 4) After about 30-45 days, have the line open to use if you need that liquidity that you used, but until then you are not paying 7% interest on nothing.
