Thankfully because I've been going through them for 90 minutes, matching up all of the information with the rent-roll spreadsheet she provided earlier.

Playing on a computer, set at a "pro" or "expert" level, I will win 70% of the matches.

In one case it was extremely important as the APN numbers and addresses didn't quite match up so I wanted to make sure the plat and survey aligned.  

Third, please take advantage of any matching program that your future employer may offer you.  

Your escrow will go up to match the correct taxes, but I'd make up the short fall now.

There may also be a distinction where they want to see the experience of the GC company, as opposed to just the individual.  

Dave Ramsey would be thrilled :) I don't know of an area that will quite fit what your looking for that will match your weather requirements.

@Rich Hupper If you don't mind me asking, does your company match your 401k contribution up to a certain percent?

If the investor is worth 10 million and you are asking for 1 million held for 10 years that is a different conversation than holding 50k or 100k of their money for 10 years.My deals I have much shorter horizons for returns but I do the commercial retail development space.My investors do not make anything until the property is constructed or the lease executed and then get more equity upside on the back end.Some passive investors want mainly all high cash flow today, some want some cash flow right away and then some equity  upside, and then others do not really need the cash flow today and are fine getting some in 6 months after initial investment and larger equity gains on resale down the road.So you have to match up what you are trying to do with the type of investors who will go for that model.     

Just not clear on the distinction between a gift & private loan in this scenario.
