My goal is for the foundation of my company to be solid and to grow properly.

So, I had to put zeroes in to maintain the proper format.There's the first two 10-month "chunks".

There are thousands of lenders and tens of thousands of loan products.

Lastly, I make sure that we are double checking and doing proper due diligence - I walk the property and do an in-depth investor walkthrough for them, we do a home inspection, we have a licensed GC to walk and write up an itemized bid, etc.And to answer the last part of your question, one of the hottest markets is Columbus Ohio!

Anyone who is advertising an "easy way", you are the product.

. - the juice isn't worth the squeeze to me on that type of loan product.

Just need to stat under the occupancy limit.Also keep in mind basement needs to be livable square footage, ie have egress and proper ceiling height. 

Again, I primarily work in Portland proper (which, it seems like most of these folks responding aren't aware, is a whole different ballgame than the rest of Oregon). 

And I think a lot of companies will realize that productivity is generally higher in cooler climates.

+I've researched something called an FHA Construction loan in terms of financing this project, but it seems that most large banks don't offer that product.
