Unlike a Bank, they are more project focused instead of you. 

Just completed a large remodel on my primary residence ($90k in) with the goal of refinancing to consolidate some personal debt and pull some additional cash for other real estate related projects, BUT ran into a road block with a lender.

This was definitely a fun project although it had it's challenges.

The bigger problem that I see is that you are putting all of your money and name on a project that will be illegal.

Good luck with the project!

hey Eric, im also in kelowna and im in the trades. im currently putting together a few other trades guys to start doing fix and flips in the area as well as possibly new construction projects. sounds like we might be able to help each other out. would be great to get in contact. 

Danko- "The Undoing Project" - Michael LewisOverall, my main concern is the numbers talked about for some of the American markets seem unrealistic here in Ottawa, even relative to the surrounding smaller towns.

I'm not considering flips because with 2 small children it would add a lot of stress to project manage something so huge.

My project is significant enough that a GC will make a sizable profit even with cost plus. 

I’m not a lawyer so nothing here should be considered anything more than my observations over more than two decades of raising money for my projects.
