If you are going to build a shelter, maybe set aside some space for another charity to come in and put in a soup kitchen type of facility to feed your homeless population on the site.Just my 2 cents.

You can start by compiling a list of investors who appear on podcasts, reaching out to them, setting up appointments to talk, and beginning to build relationships.

I think behind tenant screenings and leases there is a quality of a landlord that's also as a person that is the respect for a good person and the intelligence of making fair affairs.For me for ten years in the past I had a house of 650sqft (two rooms and cozy kitchen) where I always have been giving away one of the room for others who were asking for help for themselves and I didn't had any earnings for me by that, and that has been during for many and many years, meanwhile I was surely needing more space for me, for my business in a studio and for my own personal life I eventually could have been having.Nonetheless this, on last years I had no more an house and I needed a room for rent, but even before any screening the landlords were being unrespectful and very unreasonably severe to me, they often had making me lose so much time by no taking or going away to the point I had no other choices in the end, and they set me in the wrong places for me, dangerous ones, too small, too big and very expensive, unhealthy ones or not providing anything at all when it was obvious they needed to.To me this kind of behaviour is very wrong, mostly because usually they are the same people who pretend respects and acts as they are very careful and attentive to housing situations in general, but with me, they have been lying above anything and just disrespected the person at a human level. 

After doing quite well in the CT market space, I’m finally starting to adjust to the Ca market.I think it’s key to be in the know about off market deals, for both your primary and investment. 

I have 4 mailboxes, and signs for all 4 addresses, and I've been paying sewer for 4 units.I guess I need to set up a protest hearing, but what should I be doing before then? 

Does that mean I'm all set and can break it up in to separate units, or do I need to get a permit or rezone or other things?

Quote from @Dennis Bragg: Hi Breeya,You’ve got a killer set of strategies already!

Maybe this is a simple question but does this have to be set up through a service or could this just be my bank and I hold the money? 

The alternative is to set up a self-directed IRA, or better, a truly self-directed Solo 401k plan, invest in alternative assets, and then do the conversion.

Now, if you have a good Broker and he is set-up at 8 different lenders already and he/she is great at the processing and getting loans closed then I'd say they are worth their point.
