Bump, come on folks, Chris helps alot of people on the forum.

I am also considering investing and helping a local developer raise money for future projects and would just love to get plugged in to the local scene in general. 

@Jennie Berger, glad you found it helpful.

That means that they need help with dressing, bathing, using the bathroom, etc. 

Maybe chat with a financial advisor and have them help you set up an IRA and throw 25k directly into that on a high/medium/low-risk level and watch that slowly grow as a slush fund for further investments. 

I learned that I really enjoy originating notes and thought my services could prove profitable to other investors.I would like to start a full-service business where I help landlords convert their rental properties into low-effort and profitable notes.

Maybe it will help narrow your focus on specifics:1.

Dmitriy has been avail to help on different issues and I am glad to keep using Sense going forward.

I have 8 years experience in commercial construction, civil engineering, and project management, so hoping to leverage that skillset to help me.

That experience pushed me to grow, learn, and ultimately do what I’m doing today—helping others create successful off-market real estate strategies.
