thank you for your answers,In fact I am looking to buy a third house, if possible already rehabilitated

An example of a creative way to take advantage of this niche is to secure a loan for a tenant-in place rehabilitation using short-term tax-exempt bonds.APPLY CREATIVITYThe one constant in the real estate sector is that nothing is constant.

There are also SNF's (skilled nursing facilities) with rehabilitation centers.  

I've purchased and flipped a few single family homes, and I own a few apartment buildings, but have never taken on a rehabilitation project like this.Admittedly, my partners and I don't know what the property's best use is, either as a mutli-family with rentals or as condo conversion, because we don't know what the space will allow, so I was hoping to get some feedback on where to start and, more importantly, if anyone has any recommendations as to architects/engineers/contractors that they've worked with on similar projects that might be able to draw up some potential plans.Thanks in advance,Ari

Then I would like to start more intensive rehabilitation projects and maybe eventually start investing in solar panels on these buildings as another profit source (and as a marketing strategy).Currently I'm in the learning stage.  

I am a superintendent for a pipeline rehabilitation company called Insituform which is a great job that has allowed me to save a lot of money in short periods of time if need be.

Does anyone know if form 3468 historic rehabilitation tax credits are assignable?

I am located in Florida and am looking to develop a "Lease Option" strategy.Is it more profitable to look for properties that require minimal rehabilitation or fixer uppers?

With the new construction in the Warner Center, new/expanded metro lines and the rehabilitation of the LA river lots of interesting things are happening with the SFV.
