@Paul Timmins Thank you and I appreciate the advice and will add those resources to my growing arsenal.

You have someone who can give you advice over multiple years and help you grow and knows your situation thoroughly. 

However, when I see what I consider an inexperienced team try to raise funds last summer on one portal (and fail) pop up on yet another portal nine months later, with the same "experienced sponsor" mantra, something is amiss.Don't get me wrong, I think there is a need for CF and it will continue to grow and offer opportunities, but what you said rings very true. 

I did a good part of my growing up in the San Fernando Valley - Woodland Hills and No Hollywood, and still have lots of family in LA.  

@Ryan KeeWhat part of Boise did you grow up in?

@Jared, Colorado Springs is growing so much.

As your enterprise grows, they can always use other formats.

I can tell you that none of the portfolio lenders that I've ever used (I'm at about 8 different local banks that I have loans with) have any seasoning requirements on rate/term refi's.Great way to grow a portfolio without having to be out of pocket 25% of the purchase and 100% of the rehab costs for very long. 

Dear Members,Based in Kolkata, India, I'm completely new to real estate but am looking for opportunities to get involved in this field of work as real estate opportunities are growing in India.

The purpose of a refi is to pull cash in order to grow and acquire more properties so this seems useless.
