It slows way down between March - August, with June-July being the slowest of them all.I'm interested in seeing if it's just a local, region, or nation thing, related to summer, vacations, weather, Government, or other economic changes in areas. 

Hello BiggerPockets Nation, @Joshua Dorkin should address everyone on this site as part of "the BP nation".

Absentee Homeowners with Equity is most popular, but you might consider one of the other alternatives such as Seniors with High Equity, Recently Divorced and Homeowners with Low Economic Stability Scores.Be sure that the list you get has been put through National Change of Address (NCOA) and CASS.

In the above case, 9% IRR.You should think of it as putting the Investment in to a Certificate of Deposit, holding it for 10 years at the 9% IRR per year for the 10 years.The IRR Calculations gives you a fantastic way to calculate ANY type of Investment against each other, including Stocks, Bonds, Real Estate, ANYTHING really.Once you know all the Cashflows for the entire 10 year target life of the Investment, then you can get an IRR for it.Now, let's look at a 2nd Scenario with this EXACT spreadsheet, but with different numbers:We increased the price to $500k, buying in a location that has at least the national appreciation rate.

Most of the time, it is not the big national franchise on the hook.

If one of these days you consider buying in Florida I can put you in contact with a local bank that lends to foreign national up to 50%-60% LTV with reasonable rates.

It's just always been more convenient to those women to be able to do it on their own terms. 

Perhaps this is just one Home Depot in one location, but it could also be a national problem.    

Wanted to see if anyone could give me some lender/private money recommendations for build to suit ground up development for a couple national fast food/QSR retailers in the Seattle metro area.

I'm looking at purchasing a 16 unit apartment which is on the national registry of historic buildings.
