Notes
I have 40+ yrs experience in the apartment RE field. I am a licensed Commercial General Contractor and Licensed Electrical Contractor in 8 States. Also a licensed MH dealer in MI and applying in Fl. New Commercial Construction and capital improvements and revitalizations to existing large commercial assets is my specialty. From design concept, through permitting and entitlement to turnkey construction. I am happy and willing to share the profits "fairly and equitably" with investors with plenty of lateral leeway to make it work for both of us. (prefer as few investors as possible to minimize  handholding as a full time occupation instead of owning and running MHP's) I prefer not to introduce outside sub-contractors through investors onto my property (willing but prefer not to) based on proper installation compliance and liability issues (W/C & G/L). Requires oversight along with insurance certs, permits and inspections. It will be difficult to find an investor who has the years of experience I do who can and will find, purchase, sell, place and maintain homes better than I can. Prefer to take that burden off the investor and assume that role myself for obvious reasons. If an investor insists on doing the complete deal using his own resources he will earn all the profits on the financing less administrative costs. If the investor is happy with less profit and commensurately less headache, his return will reflect that adjustment but still exceed profits  by any other vehicle the market has to offer...as Frank clearly indicated during the webinar. I need homes, I am a highly capable, experienced, hands on owner with a track record. I need an investor(s)to finance homes so that I can fill lots. I am open to all suggestions. I have no mortgage on this asset, have only owned it for 3 months and before I even begin capital improvements it is cash flowing at 47% occupancy with a 38% expense rate and no debt. If one investor were to fund the 75 to 100 homes needed over a 1 to 2 year timespan (estimate to fill based in demand)
 I would consider a first position lien or some other highly secured instrument to allow that investor the ability to achieve a level of comfort needed. I am also absolutely amenable to multiple investors if that is my best or only approach.  Thanks very much to Dave, Frank and Staff for support and direction.  Best  steve raleigh
