Hey Denny - For rehab costs, a good place to start is breaking things down room by room and getting rough estimates for common repairs like the roof, HVAC, kitchen, light cosmetics, etc.

There are plenty of older homes on the market that do not have closets.You need 2 egresses (including 1 that goes outside) such as a door or window, size about 70sqft (local codes may differ), ceilings at least 7ft high, and it cannot be a walk-through passage.As always, your local codes may be different.

You'll need to keep good records, including the appraisal if necessary, and acknowledgment from the charity.In terms of how much you’ll actually get back in terms of tax benefits, it depends on your specific tax situation (your income, other deductions, and tax bracket).

My target market is South Florida, including Miami-Dade County, Broward County, Palm Beach County, and possibly Collier and Lee Counties.

I can build a 4-plex, four two story units side by side, with a total of about 5000sf for about $1m, land included.

We don't allow any "deal-making" in the forums, which includes advertising your services or properties, looking for partners, etc.

Their expansion is a $96 million dollar expansion, but doesn't include any housing for their students.

There are certainly some things to learn along the way, but you'll figure it out as you go just like we all do.There are plenty of folks here that would be happy to help for free - including me.

Im considering it as the course includes a coach for 6 months and a complete program.

I was chatting with some of my lending buddies at big banks and they are all backing away from the CRE space including office because operating costs are increasing more quickly than rents.
