Quote from @Clint Miller: Anyone here in the community used construction loans to scale their development projects?

If you had not team in those areas and could not have reasonably developed one, then you missed thing.You say you’ve done well in Chicago.

You can do a trial and see if bank feeds connect, if it does, I would then recommend using it over QBO.One of my client that just started in development is short on funds so Xero was the only best option and they are using a local bank so we couldn't connect and a lot of manual entries. 

I always suspected that to achieve anything of great notoriety in Architecture one needed to have access to wealthy friends or develop projects oneself.

Funny enough, after making a few calls to my network in Scottsdale, plus tapping into a couple of connections I’d developed through some late-night investor meetups, we found a buyer quicker than he could polish off his morning espresso.

Other than new construction development same here we have no senior debt its all cash.. of course unlevered returns are are a little less but man is it so much easier to manage and not worry about paying the senior debt all the reporting One has to do etc etc.. having been through a terrible down cycle with syndication decades past and watching what the guys I worked for went through and lost I just decided if we cant pay cash I am not going to do it. 

If you develop a great relationship with local credit unions, you'll be surprised by what all they're capable of.   

The city's economic development initiatives have been attracting businesses and professionals, creating opportunities for real estate investment.

That neighborhood is buzzing with potential-young professionals, trendy developments, and a rental market that’s always in demand.

I assume pros are little maintenance, no cap ex for maybe at least a decade, and possible favorable loan terms from developers.
