And so disappointed that I'd thought we'd missed out on a really awesome property in a great, historic location.  

Work on your reputation first and then when you have more experience under your belt and can provide investors with historical financials, work on syndicating deals.

I sold half of my new builds for cash.. there is young money and OLD money many from Northeast have ocean front homes or big mansions in the historic district.9. roads are not clogged... 10.. weather not florida terrible in the Summer and not New Jersey bad in the winter.. just right..

i do not have any relation to the area I just did a quick search on rents in the area and the historical tax credits 

The housing stock in Lents is quite poor, not to mention half the neighborhood is in a historic flood plain.

People with commercial loans often lament at having to re-qualify for the damn thing periodically, even after it's closed and all payments have been made on time.It seems like this will be a long term hold, so I'd take one of the fixed options while we still have time left in the "era of historically low interest rates."

With the interest rates being near historic lows we are trying to lock-in all of our loans before the rates begin to climb again.

It's as though that historical period never even existed.  

Any good websites that have historic cap rates for certain geos?  

One thing your missing dear is that when you bought all of these it was the best buying opportunity of the last 40 years... the only time that there was as good or better was about 1990 to 1992  when you had 50% devaluation on some SF and prime bay area assets.... so from that point on it took another16 years and a world crisis to set up your good buys.. ( although I really like the Northstar one I like Northstar a lot) but you time shares are historic for being able to buy pennies on the dollar in any market.
