Quote from @Taylor L.: A few things I haven't liked about lending include the concentration of risk and the high tax rate.

Happy to connect if helpful.

Your insights into how these smaller, specialized shops operate and the value one can bring by helping them modernize are incredibly valuable.

I need some help and suggestions are welcome.

If you need assistance with the setup, my best friend is a lawyer who specializes in these matters and can help.

The forums are a great place to learn how to or how not to do something, ask questions and engage, it helps you and others learn.

I would love to help you find a property in Auburn, but I am also interested in investing myself.

In some cases, your lender may be able to assist (as a courtesy) to help you get the resources you need to get back on track (e.g., other borrowers in your market, contacts for tried and proven contractors, etc).Of all things to do, you should not hide and ignore phone calls.And last but not least, if none of that works, list the property in hopes to recoup your losses and let another investor take over and get out of the project and take the lessons you learned and apply them to the next one.

However there are other investors who feel very differently and love turnkey operators.Hope this helps.
