It shows about 10 of them all in the last two weeks despite saying they've been around since 2005 and all of them are with super generic names (Smith, Doe, Williams, Johnson, etc.).

Last year, we closed on 3 100 unit complexes (they were closed with our own capital), and this deal is a small one, but a good one!

There are four months left on the lease, with one already covered by the last month's rent.  

We've done about 60 in the last 8 months, with only one failure.

Another option is if you lived there two of the last five years, you could rent it for two more years and then sell. 

I was medically retired last year in September and moved here for my job in the post office.

working with our auditors right now on ACL (allowance for credit loss) and learning about SCALE, WARM and all the fun and new CECL terminology.. 

Lastly, you'll want to make sure you buffer your construction budget that goes to the bank.
