Welcome to BP.You have a unique name.

But honestly, even if you rarely attend their events, I think their membership benefits make up for the fees pretty well (and both have some pretty unique member benefits).REAPS is the largest nonprofit REI Club in the Northwest, but it also has a lot of guru sales pitch (although REAPS does a good job of knocking down their price tags).  

I think it will be unique to every deal which is why I wanted to contact owners with 100% as it opens up more options.  

Simple but a bit unique.

Very unique and tred on water type real estate stuff and yeah I was in way over my head with all this info on it.

The Construction Cost Index in my region has been remarkably stable, at right around 3% plus/minus a couple tenths, for decades.So I am going to say with a fair bit of confidence that the $5000 roof will cost just over $9000 in 20 years.

I am looking to learn, connect, and work with people in the central NC region (I'm in Mebane, but drive as far as Raleigh and Greensboro).

A unique brand is also more flexible in case you want to change your strategy/location or if the "We Buy Houses" line stops being effective in your area.  

Your partner will need a solid relationship with a local/regional bank to get through construction, cash, & experience.  

Its a great place to live, and a very unique area.
