Pros: It would be pretty easy to get investors and it might be fun to involve others in crafting the vision/project.

Shana Gates with Craft and Bauer (310) 746-6232 does ag as well and a good trustworthy friend. 

But you will be paying tax on all or most of the difference between your net sale and your net purchase One way to mitigate this would be to craft a diversification exchange and purchase multiple replacement properties. 

You can then grow into a GC role if you wish but you will have put some time and experience into learning the craft.  

Any recommendations to folks in the are who can help me craft and execute the strategy are welcome!

We do primarily custom work, and so really need team members that know their craft and can view the blueprints and function independently and autonomously.

The great thing is you have time to learn and master your craft. 4.

Most tradesmen I know would rather be at a job site doing their craft than dealing with paperwork, permits, and the city. 

I would recommend to be sure to be using an excellent investing knowledgable realtor (the BP network can help get you connected to one if you do not already have an agent)Things you want your agent to do is really feel out what the seller is looking for in the deal and then crafting your offer to be as simple and strong and address all the needs the seller may have.

What this does is show them my dedication to the craft of investing, let them know I'm an investor, gets them thinking about investing themselves, and if they're thinking about investing because of you, they'll think of possibly investing with you.So, while you learn the technicals, just enjoy connecting with people, educating them, swapping stories, and you'll build a network slowly where you can have a higher chance of getting a private money loan.
