I doubt I would hand the whole thing over to a developer, as I'm inclined to use the experience as a stepping stone in my career. 

I have others that can close in just a few days, if that's your priority.I'm happy to share my experience both as an investor and as a lender.

Hindsight and a few decades of experience has taught me that with a good lawyer I would have been in the clear completely.

If so what was the experience like.Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

It also gave me the chance to experiment with short-term rentals before transitioning to a long-term hold, reinforcing my strategy for growing a real estate portfolio.

Happy to share some out of state investing experiences.

On larger deals, I've actually seen LTVs come down in the 50%-65% range, depending on the type of property/experience of the developer.

I have an accounting degree, 5 years of experience as a property accountant in the commercial space, and 10 years of managing the books for my own rentals.

Like any tool, you have to know how to use it correctly or you could get, "injured".We use it to quickly sift through multiple options - and that's about it.BP has a Rental Calculator that includeds everything you are asking about: mortgage P&I, property taqxes, home insurance and percentage for maintenance & vacancy.It also includes Cap-Ex percentage, but in our experience it's a waste of time to worry about this.

I would anticipate it would depend on the level of detail you desired but it has been my experience that the will do free estimates.
