To all the comments thanks for letting me know, "stick to getting deals done".

@Michael Clark, we are in the same market so I'll hit your inbox and maybe we can talk offline, but I'll make some comments here for everyone as well. 1.

Based on your comments, you are at risk of  gravitating towards the lower tier neighborhoods where the spreadsheets will suggest cash flow is better but excel spreadsheets don't tell the whole story. 

@Mary Jay, to layer on to Connor's comment, while some lenders will only pay draws on invoices paid with lien releases, there are also some that will allow you to submit draws on invoiced work.  

Did you see anything else and thank you for commenting?

My previous comment was "flagged" by bigger pockets as they think I was trying to sell you something for free, anyway.

Started moving forward with the Vendee lender who did respond to the email I sent through the website (see previous comment).

I agree with all your comments. 

After rereading Greg’s comments at the beginning of this posts it makes me think .
