As a Partner in the GC-GOLD Construction Lending consortium with primary markets extending from the Mid-Atlantic States, the S.E. and selected S.W. markets I have to say that we have seen NO reduction in requests for const-to-perm financing from those who want to engage in the construction of a CUSTOM-built home as a primary residence or a 2nd/vacation home when completed.From that perspective alone...

I am intersted in partnering or just buying there.

Had someone call me and provided me with this information:5 bed/3batile floorocean viewroughly 3k sq ftThere is a 1st Mortgage of $576k @ 6.5%2nd of $108k @ 9%He also said they are 5 year armOther notes are that he said he put 35k into the property.His motivation for selling: Him and his partner take a hit on the commute to work.

Well, I receive A LOT of my available inventory through various partners/associates I've been doing business with for the last 4-5 years.

HM is almost always cheaper than taking on a cash partner.

I am up in the white mountains, just north of Plymouth.As far as investment locations go, the southern part of the state has the bulk of the population and has seemed to suffer the most of the slump in prices lately, so that is where I expect to be hearing about the opportunities.I plan to partner with a contractor that has done work for me before.

Are you going to partner or just try to do short term deals (in and out so less need for a full team locally)?

Or get a partner with a clear way to later buy them out.Let the market help produce the money you need for investing.John Corey

Glad I've got a partner to help carry the vacancy a few months.
