I would like to be able to find more wholesale deals, flips, and build a buyers list that we either help them find investment properties or people that want us to find them a home and make it into their dream home (property brothers style).  

This style approach seems to be a better alignment of interests than what many other syndicators do which makes for very conservative underwriting.

I'm curious if anyone knows of a turnkey contact for out of state in investors in the Sarasota County area (from Sarasota down to Venice).Someone doing there, what Eric Fernwood does in Las Vegas, where he helps investors, select the right SFR's, purchase them and then get them rented out. 

Also I don’t wouldn’t be opposed to house hacking, except I already own a loft style condo in a good area that is my primary residence.

Or should it be an investor style postcard from the very beginning?

So are there any specific pros/cons to home style vs choice renovation?

Equity funds limited to Miami, San Diego, Phoenix or Las Vegas in 2008 lost 60% of their capital by 2011.  

Sounds like there was not a fit in terms of style .. like a Wall Street type trying to hang out with a SoCal surfer type.

Speaking as a lender (not investor) with some experience in small balance commercial lending, I can tell you that it is likely going to be tough to find financing most likely as a lot of commercial lenders tend to stay away from churches, although could be more favorable if the building is true retail/office rather than a structure built specifically in the style of a traditional church (i.e. hard to transition to other tenants if needed)

I just finished a medium style rehab and worked with a great GC.
