Also- fix the scuff on the stairs in photo 7Overall well done, seems like you are off to a good start with your reviews and that you thought of all the small stuff

With building it can be a task with all the bureaucracy but if you have patience it all just depends on the zoning and all that fun stuff but due able I work with developers now that have built where others would have deemed impossible.

@Andy Ramos hmm .. based on working with our clients and getting intel on stuff like this.

I lost over 400k doing stuff like this in the beginning and have learned this lesson the hard way 

Like the other posters have mentioned the credit score / credit report is likely an issue - with what you describe there certainly seems to be some stuff missing for it to be that low - but on the flip side, it could be a situation where professional credit repair could make a relatively quick big improvement.

Another option is you could get a construction/bridge loan.My sense is thebuilder wants money upfront and insurance is saying no - which is typical in commercial deals where contractor does not get paid until work is done - none of this upfront stuff except for some mobilization costs.

Scary stuff. 

And secondly, that was quite the haul-off of stuff!  

'Investing in Real Estate Private Equity' by Sean Cook is a great intro level book, that assumes you know nothing about the syndication space but it doesn't treat you like an idiot either, it takes you along and educates you2. higher level is "CRE analysis and investments" , a textbook by Geltner et al. which I loved, breaks down all aspects of CRE, how to underwrite etc. 3. lots of online stuff helpful too, like The Real Estate Syndication Show, recent episode belowOver 100 Passive Investments and Lessons Learned with Joe Fairless (youtube.com)4.

I dont know much about this stuff .. but now that i am in vegas I will ask around.. however dont you have to go through some pretty serious back ground checks and such to get a licesne.. or is this just the first step get the place in escrow subject to the state of NV approving you.. ???
