I was just wondering how you would go about finding a hard money lender or private lender in the rapid city, SD area. 

I’m moving to Grand Rapids in the next month or so and looking to build some connections in the real estate space.

If you enjoy charity, charge the tenant full rate and then donate $1,200 to people that really need it.I also don't believe in incremental increases.

One word of caution, don't take a first job that is oriented around construction or construction management, I have found it very hard for folks to move from construction to development without some loss of career traction to do so.For example, I come from a family of real estate developers, but I was ambitious to learn rapidly and work for others in the multi-family development domain, so I obtained my first job (asst. project manager) for a division of KB Home (Kaufman and Broad Multi-Housing) that developed in-house apartment projects.

I am brand new to the area and will be opening a new location for a rapidly expanding home services company. 

I’m born and raised in Iowa and really like the Cedar Rapids market.

The key to getting ahead is getting started and the key to getting started is taking your overwhelming task and breaking into incrementally smaller tasks that are far less overwhelming"

Generally the policy is issued in increments of $1mm. 

That gets you down to basically nothing right now, however, farm land prices are increasing rapidly in some areas as of late. 

If investors start backing out you may see home prices soften.Sprawling has been picking up rapidly in NWA over the past decade and it will be interesting to see if city planning can keep up with transportation development as the area grows.
