If the loans go belly up then the lenders that made them can get gobbled up by competitors and the lending market marches on.Seems pretty simple to me.

I understand (somewhat) real estate, it gets me excited, making deals gets my juices flowing.BTW, great question.

I have been glued to the forum posts and am juicing the treads for all of the knowledge contained within.

Welcome to the BP community @Chris Bell!!  I

You announced the raise to him through an official letter, not belly-to-belly first and you didn't justify why he's getting a bigger increase than most. 

I am doing a rehab and wondering if the juice is worth the squeeze to enclose a Courtyard in the middle of the property and end up adding about 1000 sq ft in the process.  

Lenders are also using OPM, warehouse lenders, to juice their returns. 

I read a listing that described a property with a tenant base of approx 30% subsidized that stated there was significant upside to declare the property section 8.  How's that work?  Market rent's won't command higher ...

And Jay Hinrichs the main reason I would see in scoping a new sewer line like that is it is very common to get what they call a belly in a sewer line which is where the ground underneath sinks in one area causing essentially a low spot and can be very common due the so much change in the ground on a new construction and only wound take one rain or some ground water.

I also let me my team weigh in with their thoughts and creative juices.
