Hey, BiggerPockets experts! I'm a new lender in the Atlanta, Georgia area and I'm looking for information on any upcoming events or meetups. Can anyone share details with me? Thanks!

I agree, although in my experience most often when people hear that "P" word they draw back and.... ruminate on "loosing" a % of there company, investment, cash-flow or profits. 

In fact I know a few people who have had good experiences with Crexi.

Currently they have average finishings for the area.I have an idea on the rents but would like to hear what other people are currently renting their units for.

Once in there you will find plenty of people that are doing it, although the ones that will connect with you will most likely be begginers that don't know too much. 

People come from all over the country because in the midwest and specifically Cincinnati, it costs less.

I have asked my tenants to confirm their contact info and names of all people living in the house including name and age of their children. 

There are numerous other ways to go about getting insights into future development planning.

@Travis AndresIf you do not have other assets to secure against - your best bet would be a private lender willing to take risk of essentially providing an unsecured loan.There are people out there that do this - expect very high interest rates.

Well besides the hard costs (construction, materials) and soft costs (permitting, architecture, fees, engineering) people often forget holding costs.
