Many of you may know of me as I have been investing in Apartments - mostly Syndications - for 22 years and have invested in over 11,000 units.

Not sure if you have a direct question, but reading the questions between the lines on when a property is actually considered to be in service.Facts and circumstances.Generally for a rental property it is "in service" when it is "ready and available for rent" - meaning you are marketing it for rent, and a tenant could utilize a property that day.

Have never done this before.

I have two friends that have had success wholesaling and flipping.  

Hey everyone- I'm considering building some investment properties and am interested in chatting with builders, contractors or property owners who have used either Procore or Buildertrend to manage their projects.

The shift in rate environment could also accelerate the luxury STR market as inventory is exceedingly low and jumbo rates have fallen precipitously. 

It's great to see you taking the first steps into real estate investing.

Directly across the street you have Panda Express, Popeyes and a pawn shop/jewelry store must I say anymore? 

I have had similar situations.
