Sounds like you have a Maytag range and need a Stove Orifice & Tube Assembly. you can get it online @ partadvantage.com.Mine cost $26 to replace.

Based on the level of operational management I'd like to have in place, I may need to assemble some additional resources and start a little larger than my original plan.Jon & Dion- Thanks for your input

Currently, I have (a) formed a multi-member LLC, b) assembled my team (legal, contractor, property manager, accountant).What I am looking to gain from the community:(a) learning on scaling up/building systems etc(b) suggestions for real estate brokers/multi-family realtors - i have been rather disappointed by the lot I have come across.

Yes, one can build up their own CRM database and assemble tools to emulate them.

Hi Tony,As a commercial real estate broker I have worked with developers on commercial projects assembling land.So first thing you have to look at is what is there or not there in the area??

With regard to obtaining a loan, if you have never done one, the bank will look at your net worth and the team you have assembled to determine the level of risk associated with doing a new development. 

If so are these teams you have assembled yourself or you found through others who have invested in the same market?

A lot of us got burned badly during that time so it would be great to assemble something concise and specific that has stories and advice from investors that survived (or thrived), in spite of the crash, that we can use as actionable steps to fortify our current business plans.Right now I'm only doing flip projects because it limits my risk.

You have to look at what amount of money you make for the time involved.For example if you make 1,000,000 dollars over ten years then that is 100,000 return a year but the 100k in year 5 will not be worth as much as year 10 etc.You can also have small successes and then a certain phase falls out.I worked on a development deal for about over 3 years assembling 25 acres for an after build value on a mixed use project for 150 million dollars.

But I did notice she barely reviewed the piles of receipts I had assembled using NEAT but used the front sheets reports NEAT generates to summarize all the expenses.Mileage was a big deal, if it was specific to a property she allowed it but well documented mileage to do other business was in most cases denied but it wasn't worth arguing about.It was an exhausting three days but I leaned a lot.
