In it's most affordable form, it comes in 440 lb drums.)The mixture needs to be between 18-22% binder to rubber crumb by weight and you just trowel it into place and finish with a heavy roller.

A report will never hold as much weight as the actual experience.

As you go up the mix ladder ( mainly national with some regional, mainly regional to a few mom and pop, to all mom and pop) the sophistication of the investor buyer needed is much higher and thus the selling cap rate rises.Be very careful with the lease and commercial retail leasing attorneys are worth their weight in gold.

Sharing such a big project and working alongside a seasoned flipper would be worth its weight in gold.    

I guess the crux of why I'm hesitant to invest locally is bc here you're more weighted towards appreciation return (more susceptible to economic conditions) rather than cash flow returns when you invest around the DMV, at least with traditional leverage 20% down / 80% financed.

I have a few multi-families in Toledo, and they have been fine, but I'm looking at Columbus, OH and Grand Rapids, MI based on my research, for our next investment. 

@Chris VanderlooHey Chris some other thoughts, and I'm surprised not more have weighed in:Some analytics / data visualization that shows Variables like: price changes over different time periods (either based on estimates like Zestimates or actual sale data), in some cases, steep/rapid changes, or acceleration may be a window into when an area is getting that critical mass to move forward - I'm thinking a heat map etc after scraping price info over time - by the way, the Zestimate I've found the historical graph is not the ACTUAL historical Zestimate, (for whatever reason)Scraping the note world (paperstac, Note MLS) to again look for rapid changes in default rates or other relevant info that'd be leading indicator for pricing - note this would need more brainstormingWe use Monday.com - if there was a plug-in or something that'd help very specifically handle RE projects, especially as we onboard other people, that'd be great.Platform for specifically detailing projects for bid - something different than the Homeadvisor model, though - If we as investors could see actual historical labor rates on a per unit basis, this would be great. 

They only get the 'action' on the back end of the deal, which means their LOCs are tied up in construction, with no new collateral - even as their borrower's risk profile changes rapidly as they build. 

Denver's rapid appreciation isn't going to save flippers anymore. 

I'd also check if there was too much weight in the drawer to make the rail break.
