I have some people I can talk to about private lending, but not quite sure how to initiate the conversation. 

Since that is a disability don't include it in any actions or conversations on the occupancy issues.  

If someone ask a thought provoking question that really gets a conversation going that's a vote.

So, I'm having conversations with folks explaining that I'm looking to make contacts for those reasons and I'm also looking to better understand Denver's rehab costs with their help.    

It's a great way to jump in and stay connected with the conversations you care most about!

So if a person has a history of filing claims on properties they own insurance companies know about and conversely if a property has a history of multiple claims against it they know that as well.Many times with insurance claims it is better to pay for it than file a claim unless it is really large.

Thanks in advance for the information and conversation.

I also want to make sure my contract is Oregon compliant.Well, after my conversations today with 2 local title companies, it looks bleak.

In our conversation, I mentioned to him that I am aware of private individuals that loan money to rehabbers, builders, and private lenders on bigger pockets.
