See all those people sitting one to a late-model car they can't afford stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic, getting paid nothing for it, all worried that they're going to be late to work...again.

Lender’s business model should be focused on making money by closing loans, not closing applications.

You could go with a commercial real estate fund model to diversify across properties, operators, and geographies.

@Jason MartinezI do like that Airbnb model near Anaheim.

My marketing expertise, general construction background, negotiation skills, and the overall vision for the project.

We live in an 18 unit (3 triplexes on each side) but the one that I would model if were to develop it is over on Moreno between Nitchke and Vaughan.  

And that IRR is key to modelling when approaching investors with business plans and structuring the investment.Is there a similar target IRR that investors expect for real estate funds?

You simply want to model what is working and not reinvent the wheel.

Your expertise is very much appreciated. 

The more you bend the rules of your business model the higher chances you have of it breaking. 1 out of 3 landlords are in some form of suit every year for violation of the law and the majority are because they did a favor or nice thing.
