I also connected with someone from my local REIA and thought I would share his company and contact as well. Has his own company but we connected on the whole sell side. He also goes by A.J. but you will see him in here as @Andrew Estes What we discussed over the phone was a property I would consider purchasing and he helped walk me through the numbers as well as exit strategy in one call. Also discussed restructure of debt solution for the home seller but that was way over my head. I got a direct insight of possibilities from one call. I myself might just pay a one time fee for an underwriting consulting hour. He’s got preferred vendors and many other connections on his tree. Check out his company and contact below. Thank you Mr A.J. Estes. Go connect with him and learn more. This is the company he works with. https://www.raincitycapital.com/ Contact: @Andrew Estes in skool https://www.instagram.com/north.coast.capital?stkn=MXJzcTlucTJ1MWluNw== https://www.facebook.com/ajestesisnoturs?mibextid=wwXIfr&mibextid=wwXIfr His company: https://northcoastinvestments.com/?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio#home [email protected] https://www.raincitycapital.com/ [email protected]

Thinking about structuring your next deal and if it’s even lendable? Need help with commercial or maybe residential? I just recently connected with a member of our community who specializes in this type of business and I’ll share his business card in the comments. This was what he said in our conversation of what he specialized in…. “On the commercial side, I’m with Sunnyhill Financial and we handle debt nationwide, typically $1M and up. Multifamily, industrial, retail, office, mixed use, hospitality, development, bridge, owner user, and some of the more complicated situations that don’t fit neatly in a bank box. I’m also licensed on the residential side in CA and AZ, and our team has coverage in 25+ states. Where I think I can add value to the group is less about being another lender posting rates and more about helping people figure out whether a deal is actually financeable and how I’d structure it before they spend a bunch of time chasing financing.” That last thing he said really connected with me and I hope it does for anyone looking to underwrite a deal and what it would look like on paper. If anything in this conversation I shared is something you need, please send him a message. His contact card will be in the comments. Thank you Mr Alex for your time. Hope to see you in one of our coffee hours. -A.J. CARI Moderator

I was curious about the industry we are working in and its importance to the American Economy. It’s safe to say we are in an important industry sector if you didn’t know already.
