I wouldn't leave it until Nov to deal with the drywall especially you are in an area where it is warm and humid (mold can grow quickly). 

these deals are done with your commercial banker .. they are not something that is advertised or talked about.. its why I keep all my accounts and my affiliated companies accounts at my commercial bank. you need to be able to talk to your personal banker and that banker needs to be in a Senior position.. thats how it worked for me.

Hi Bigger pockets community,I’m seeking some advice on a frustrating situation we're dealing with.

Its hard to find a good deal in Grand Rapids right now, but when you do, don't delay.

How much money do I need , what licenses , where to look for off market deals?

We will be structuring our deals as  506c meaning only accredited investors can partner with us.

Off MLS deals arnt going to cash flow any better than on MLS deals in MoCo.

Paying a professional to help guide you through this process is VITAL on your first several development deals.

Some will say find the deal and the money will follow.

Happy to connect on this as I'm still actively brokering deals (commercial) in Washington all the time and I'm frequently traveling up there to view properties and meet with other brokers.
