I would say a good real estate attorney needs to get involved with this one...

Or, “So, what do you do all day”… Or, “It must be nice getting those big checks”… funny the things they perceive to be what is involved…They don’t see me writing fat checks all the time to make things go, or spend nights and weekends working, firing contractors, all of the things it takes to be successful.

I love moderated forums as you can really get good info and not just adds and spam and trolls.I am a commercial lender that is very much involved with a downtown revitalization project and am looking forward to swapping ideas and thoughts with others in the "biz".

I've only been involved in this for about 1.5 weeks, so let me know if I've left any important information out.The investment group is an LLC operating out of CA that does redevelopment in another state.
