Are there any creative things that could be done to get to my goals or from your standpoint,  or is it pretty well a firm "not gonna fly" type scenario? 

@Cristen Marcotte Well, my last post doesn't help you much.

I have known Brian for many years.

Alot of unknowns as you don't have the ability to walk the property beforehand, but interesting process, and pretty good deals exist there.While the Trustee Sales are cash purchases, there are many hard money options that can turn over the funds in time for the 24 hour funding required to complete the purchase.If you are interested, let me know and I can go into more detail, as well as make some other suggestions for you to consider. 

I'm actually hearing that it will be allowed for residential multi family as well, although haven't confirmed that.

Just run your numbers well and make sure you are in an area without prohibitions in place. 

You buy investments and everything goes well, so you sit back on your laurels thinking this is a pretty easy gig.

Designed by Montreal-based Felix & Paul Studios, known for their award-winning VR experiences, this immersive attraction will transport guests on a deep space mission.

But again, if you're going to take it down to change out furnishings anyway, then the timing could work out well.
