Thanks for setting this site up, I am confident it will be great to connect with like-minded individuals, learn from them, and offer my expertise in real estate construction.My wife and I are currently living in our 3rd "Investment" home, buying properties that were run down and fixing them up has become a passion of ours.

I have heard of lenders doing this, but that they charge an interest rate that is associated with loaning to an LLC, not an individual.  

I'd like to find one that will allow me to individually keep track of each expense per unit/building, but all the one's I've seen so far on the site (in the spreadsheeet area and doing a search on the forums) just would have me tally up all my expenses and enter them per month rather than breaking them apart in a separate column.  

Usually a multi unit building is already set up and metered for a "house" account meaning any electrical service to individual apartments is wired to that unit on a separate meter..and all halls, exterior lighting, laundry rooms, etc are on another separate meter that is in the owner's name usually refereed to as a house account.

If you have access to such a company in your area I would recommend contacting that team/ individual.

Any local investors (Buffalo, NY area) have recommendations for a reliable, reasonably priced, experienced interior remodeling company or individual?

Consider supplying bottles of water, granola bars, individual packets of oatmeal. 

That will likely tell you what you want out of any one individual deal.

If anyone has any info or individuals info you could send my way I would be greatly appreciative!

There are markets where, for some reason, individuals are less likely to buy.
