I'm needing an experienced and affordable general contractor for a large rehab project in Loveland, CO.  

You are projecting 6,000 a year cash difference for 18,000 over 3 years then a 31k on eventual cash out.Good credit to me is worth way,way more than 50k upside over 3 years.Also your risk profile makes a difference.

This could be a good partner for future projects. 

There are some in LA as well but there are not many.What kind of projects and investments are you interested in? 

It is almost asking a realtor to be the Project Manager for the whole thing, a really good realtor          might skip that offer and she might end up a not talented one.    

With this a number of friends and acquaintances have approached me with interest in partnering or money lending on projects.

There are lots of smaller details too - thermostats for example - that I omitted to try to hit on the biggest cost factors.It is a doable project, the difficult decision is whether it is financially feasible to do it.

There is often the zoning itself that needs to be changed and also site plan approval.The multifamily project close by might have already performed due diligence in the area and have the reports they need to make a decision.

I know how much I can beat my guys down, price-wise, so I know what kind of numbers I am, working with before even starting the project. 

For the major project I had them handle, replacing worn out carpet with Vinyl (Wood Patterned) Flooring I was quoted in writing $2,100 "out the door."
