I deal with inspector in NYC and Westchester County and you tread lightly and sometimes you can't do anything about it. 

Some of the people I deal with are very confrontational, others we have a drink and write checks to make the numbers work out regardless of the paper work.I'd say if there is a good level of trust why doesn't the borrower just pay you for Y note from the proceeds of the sale without anything extra on the payoff demand. 

(remember all the areas they will be representing you ... legal, customer facing, financial, contract work, ... etc).

Yeah I remember when I was younger , if you called someone a “computer geek “ or “geek” it was an insult .

The kids are 3 and 1 and will likely not remember too much of this stage as they get older (not that they are REALLY suffering, but you get the point).

Before you know it, you will not remember how many you have done.

I am looking to purchase a multifamily property in the Atlanta, GA area. 4-12 unit is ideal.

You can do this but remember that you are held to different standard in the military.

This will also give you a chance to get multiple quotes and find someone ideal, for you specific situation.You may make a connection with a GC that will do amazing work for you since you built that relationship.

A little about me:Ever since immigrating to this wonderful county 25 years ago, I remember dad wishing all of his children to own a piece of real estate.
