I assume these production companies have started their own financing companies and have deep pocket investors with them.We are still busy, when other companies are not, but if we were able to do our own long term financing at a lower rate than the banks than we would only be a stronger company.

I haven't done a deep analysis on Cleveland, Montgomery or Buffalo, but I would think they likely qualify at least for the type of long term, cash flow investing we aim to do. 

This usually happens when deep digging into transaction occurs,  just before the loan closure. 

I came here for the deep well of knowledge and experience that members of this community have.

Relieving a general contractor of materials sourcing and possibly also subcontractor sourcing lessens your control but is "out of scope"?

They didn't go as deep as some other companies go ( that's what she said...), but I've been happy with the referrals and professionalism from this crew.   

Probably 2bdr.Make sure you're comfortable with the numbers before diving in too deep.

I recommend to "navigate the turbulence" in your market do a deep dive on rent trends over the last 15 years. 

Again, I'm just a guy so do your own homework but I've been there before, knee deep in raw sewage and when you're going through Hell, keep going.   

Great neighborhoods, great ARVs but the number off the MLS will not work and investors with deep pockets make cash offers that can knock financing offers out.
