I'd like to try to have a selected lender by end of next week if possible.

@Aly Moyers800 for materials another 6-700 for labor Mini split is going to vary depending on what tonnage you select likely around 4000

We solve the data problem by working with the industry's best data vendors that have applied a lot of post-processing and enrichment to the original government sources, or have collected their own proprietary data.Not all of those vendors are equal in terms of accuracy, and we learned this the hard way through experience -- I come from the commercial real estate research world, and my co-founder from the retail site selection & revenue forecasting world.

I would appreciate any time you spent looking at 8 of the designs and help me select one that you thing best embodies the spirit of the LLC and non-profit.

Neither is Sherman/Denison, but we've found that to be a tougher market since the growth is so strong and prices high while selection is low. 

Another thing that factors in is how particular you are with selecting tenants.

Select your partners wisely - Realtor, Lender, 203k Consultant, and ContractorREALTOR - it's recommended to work with one that has done a 203k in the past so they know what verbiage HUD wants to be added to the purchase offer contract and how to structure the deal.Lender - advise you to select a lender with verified 203k experience; the lender is the quarterback in the process, controlling the rules, paperwork, processes, procedures, and if the lender does not have sufficient experience with the 203k, your entire process can look like the Cleveland Browns on a Sunday afternoon.203k Consultant - The 203k Consultant determines the scope of work and pricing for the project and inspects the completed work; the lender is responsible for selecting the 203k Consultant (refer to Lender paragraph above).Contractor - strongly advise you to select a contractor with the accreditation as a Certified 203k Contractor; keep in mind that the contractor does not necessarily determine the pricing for the project (see 203k Consultant info above) but does need to know the different versions of the 203k, payment methods, timelines, paperwork, forms, and processes; definitely don't want to work with a contractor who is going to "wing it" on a 203k.You're only as strong as your weakest link.
