@Greg Dickerson Thank you much sir for adding to the thread.Understood on the General Contractor experience being a boon to bank approvals, I've had two out to the property thus far and discussed plans.General Contracting is an area that we hope to develop the skills to manage internally over time in order to see efficiencies.
