As you are a developer and lender, I'm rehashing what you already know. 

Some can fund the money down portion so that I don't need to put money into the project and can focus on building/developing.

So for the next 2 years (at least, they have extended this waiver a couple times) the city is waiving system development charges for ADUs.

It seems to me that there are several large apartment complexes in development between St.

I noticed $750 is the hot spot, but can rent for up to 850 (area is a hot market and new developments around this city).

I will address this with our development team and we will make this adjustment.

I'm looking to grow my network, and looking to partner with a mentor who would like to grow their business while I develop mine.

My wife and I specialize in impact investing.We are currently helping to develop a crowdfunded business model that we believe can be replicated to about 2 dozen US cities that contain appropriate pools of distressed properties. 

Developing a Team early on will help you get things done and not necessafilly overwhelm you.  

Erie has a lot going on such as a hospital being built along with other development plans that will drive prices upwards.
