.: The problem is the government would have to get out of the way.

Personally, I would be shocked if a government agency looked into this.

If you need financial help, ask under the "Finance, Tax, and Legal" forum.

Since downtown development land goes for $30 million/acre, $100k imposed by the progressive city government for a 40 story building permit is a minor annoyance.

It could be fast tracked or it could take 6+ months as government stuff normally does. 

It's almost like they tack on a few hundred dollars to the order and forget to charge sales tax

I was just reading Mark's book "The Tax & Legal Playbook" this morning and it specifically had a "critical warning" (page 31&32 in Chapter 3).

I’d love your input on whether this deal could appeal to investors and how best to structure it.Property Details:Worth: ~$300,000HOA: $273/month, Taxes/Insurance: ~$170/monthCurrent Rent: $1,880/month (long-term); next tenant advertised at $1,950/month.Mid-term rental potential: ~$2,400/month (I haven’t tried this, but it’s my estimate).My Financing Idea:Large down payment: ~$125,000 (This is my priority to reinvest elsewhere).Seller-financed balance: ~$175,000 at 4.25% for 30 years.Buyers take over taxes, insurance, and HOA.Questions:1.

I'll save you the details but...Per door cost: $63,300All in Cost: 700kTotal Revenue: 137k(ish) annuallyNOI: 65-73% (in the expenses we included: insurance, taxes, $75/month per door repair expense, management fee 8%, grass cutting, & a misc fund for random crap business license, etc.)Now...

My biggest conundrum now is I want to be my own GC because even when I play with smaller numbers they’re still out of reach for me to be able to attain this goal and afford the monthly mortgage with taxes and insurance.
