What I am suggesting is just that, a suggestion.. you need to determine what kind of life you want to live, then look at the vehicle that is going to best deliver that vision of your life.

Ok, so here is a very short-sighted vision of what I have seen so far.

It just means you have to look harder in the areas you know, stay patient, and look for “forced appreciation” opportunities, situations where an investment is based on taking a current “non-papering” property to a better place based on vision and a plan specific to that property.

What do you do if your spouse doesn't share the same vision?

I like your vision for healing your community!

They have money and vision.

There is a lot more red tape versus a smaller project because of impact and vision for the area as a whole.

(I should note that everyone is hoping to at least break even and harbor no grand visions of big profit.)

The first thing you need to do write out a brief bullet-list synopsis of your {collective} vision and plan - no need to be overly philosophical here {things will change}, but it is essential that you all be on the same page.

I feel staging is an expense better saved for ridiculous houses that require vision to know what a room can become.
