(For instance, Clear Creek county, just west of JeffCo, put a cap on STRs in December and Idaho Springs just passed a prohibition on STRs except in your primary residence.)Morrison has one of the strictest STR laws in the Denver metro area.

Anyone can say that something earns $10,000 a month, for instance, but show me where the $10,000 a month came in on a month after month basis. 

in SFR I dont think the builder developer fee is enough to create any meaningful equity to the lender.in many instances in SFR construction the land must be paid for and is the equity.. 

You know women are famous for kicking their man out the house just because they get mad at them.

Get an attorney, default the contractor, sell the house and move on.You will most likely take a significant loss, but in many instances people will not want to let go and it ends up costing them more In the long runSorry you have to go through with this as it sucks when dealing with people like this which is why I always tell people never ever partner with your GC.

figure out what banks are doing small construction loans.. for instance I found Ameris bank a few years ago and while it took a year and a few new builds we did they moved us right to a 3 mil guidance line and we are building in Orlando area right now and they are out of Charlotte.. and i live in Oregon my partner is in Virginia 

What it really boils down to in most instances is do you have money to put skin in the game.

For instance if you have 40 units and 6 units are vacant, 85% are still paying and you can still cover all your expenses whereas if you have a SFR and its empty that's 100% vacant.

There are some instances where the activities above could be a legitimate activity, but they must be analyzed very carefully.

Even though they only charged 8.25% of gross rents and no fill or renewal fees, they didn't triage service calls enough and lit me up for $150 a month to collect $60 in coin laundry quarters, for instance.
