Can anyone recommend a plumber in Miami, preferably Kendall area.

Do you prefer large banks or small banks/ credit unions?

Most RE project finance is either Equity(shares and shareholder loans), Debt or Hybrid(mezzanine finance,  preferred equity).Suppose a multifamily township development project has LVR or LTV of 60%, 60% debt capital can be raised, how should one model remaining 40% finance such that highest developers margin can be achieved after all the payoffs.Thanking in advance
