Lobby your city councils.

Have you seen any groups lobbying for legislative change?

I am curious with the # of listings reduced significantly if associations like NAR will lobby for tougher enforcement

Remodeled all of the interiors of the units, common areas, painted the entire building, upgraded the lobby and sold it.What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

I commissioned over a dozen in LA, and now I'm trying to bring it to Uptown Charlotte, with respect to all the local culture and using local artists.I'm getting a surprisingly welcome response so far, have commissioned one temporary mural on the windows of the old Carolina Theater, and have a couple more in the works.It's a fun departure from renovation design (though that's still my first love), and might help change the stodgy, buttoned-down, uber-unhip-yuppie-banker-esque rep of Uptown. 

Aside from an interest in real estate investing I am the founder of a small running group at the University of Wyoming that's getting started this fall and I love theater, music, computer programming and building things!

Make sure to be standing around in the lobby area (where you registered to get your name badge) around 8pm.

The property is well kept, built in 2003 and in walking distance of a nice family park, shopping center, entertainment and a movie theater.

I'd pay close attention to how community groups are lobbying and factor in potential regulations or additional taxation into any profitability model.Research what happened in Anaheim, Santa Monica and understand the risks of going into this sort of business.

The first and second floors have a lobby along with common bathroom/shower areas. 3) It last sold in 2008 for a little over $1,000,000 and is currently owned by a small LLC (less than 5 people).
