What say you, BP Nation?

All of these financial institutions let me download account activity to Quicken with no fee.  

I suggest calling a bunch of banks (preferably national lenders) or getting with a good loan officer that has construction loan experience. 

And investing on your own can't hurt, obviously, but institutional players tend to want people with institutional mindsets, which is why it's good to get a degree that institutions will respect.Several years ago, when I was thinking about changing jobs from law to real estate, I sat down with a college friend whose family owns one of the world's biggest development firms.  

Most of my clients are purchasing them in 2 to 10 million range.8 capdebt fixed for 10 years non-recourse at 4.65% with 25 to 30 year amort.Creates going in cash on cash of about 12% with national tenants and some mom and pop mixed in.

National was pretty easy but I wasn't as well prepared for the state test.  

I understand the fear of excessive cleaning and labor, but in my experience it is minimal, especially if you institute a 3-night minimum, or something similar.

But here's what I see going on in this thread: We have some people in this great nation of ours who want the government to be even more active and more involved in telling people what they can and can not do.

I also hope to network with fellow Georgians and out of state investors on various projects.Thanks, to Josh D. for doing something incredible and to BP “Nation” for putting your knowledge out there!

If you want a national perspective then I'd say stay away from November and December but, as @jeff says you could use that to your advantage.
