I am partnering with a General Contractor with strong connections to local subs. 

We also have a construction manager who will be providing GC services free of charge for the actual rehab part of the job (our monetary investment to fund all construction costs, he will be providing general labor and management).

As a general rule, all "junior" liens get removed at the sheriff's sale.

To piggyback on @Jeffrey Holst's comments you generally won't find MLS listings that work real well. 

I've always been interested in real estate, have sold a couple of my own homes by owner, owned and managed a 24-unit apartment building with partners and own a couple of small commercial rental properties in town.Here is where I need some opinions, advice or experiences from any seasoned agents & brokers...I've spoken to two local brokerages this week about their general operations, fee and commission structure.

Hello, I am looking to partner with a General Contractor on a project.

.-506 B offering = Investors we know-506 C offering = General solicitation to accredited investors only = More steps to disclose and more steps to verify accreditation status- Don’t need to be licensed, we file a “issuer exemption”, as long as the person on our team does more than just capital raising and their compensation isn’t based on how much they raise.

They see more appreciation, generally have higher rents and lower vacancy.

I think the background in construction and understanding what the steps are for a given project helps me with writing out scopes of work that make sense to a General Contractor... or to a specific contractor like a carpenter or plumber. 

Imminent Interest rate increases through 2019 will negate any appreciable price increase and indication of a general cooling off nationwide is coming.You should approach the lenders to let them have the project.
