Thank you, @Os Ruiz!

hello, im a hvac /plumbing contractor and have done rei in the past and present. here is my idea and question. we have a property free and clear that  is 3.5 acres with income of $2500.00 of rent per mont on 4 old buildings. we did a market analysis and plans 3 years ago to build 72 apartments. everything looks good as far as zoning and city permits. the budget was 3.2M the property itself is worth 450k and the bankers gave us green light.we didn't move forward with it because os the risk of it, we forecasted that we would end up owing more than 2.5 M and we did not wanted to risk that much by ourselves. 2 years ago someone built 30 apartments lest than .5mille away from the property and they have 75-80% occupancy already.talking with my wife we come up with this idea, since we know construction business owners on almost all the trades and have done business with them and a person familiar with apartment building construction on the past. we would like to form a partnership with couple of them where they can own part of the business in exchange of their work (trade) and if any one wants to be more involve and want to put hard money their % would be more.do you think it can be done any legal issues? 

I'd try the following:1) Make sure that your browsers are up to date (my successful purchase was made via the latest version of Chrome for MAC OS).  2) Try it on a couple of different browsersIf things still don't work for you, please send a screenshot of your problem, along with pertinent information like your Operating system and browser (version, year, etc).  

PD o/s of a founded stabbing.

I've done a couple of out of state L/Os and I would call a property management company to show the house and use craigslist to market it.You have to have someone on the ground though and sometimes finding a good PM is hard.

@Ray Os, for any utility provided by a government entity, I keep the bill in my name for exactly the reason you cited because if unpaid it can become a lien on the property.

I don't know if you are looking to invest OS or local.

You can view/download the spreadsheet here:https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1eWquKpM8cd...Here are my Assumptions:Market; West Coast (say San Fran )Cap rate at purchase: 5% NOI: 200,000 Purchase price: $4 mill LTV: 65% Down: $1.4 mil Finance: 2.6 million Terms: 5% for 5 year term 25 year amort NOI Increase 3%/yearNOI end of year 5: 225,101.76Net cash flow years 1-5: 149,867.16Principal Reduction years 1-5: 296,915.00Debt Principal end of year 5: 2,303,085.00Cap rate at end of year 5: 8%'Renewal terms: 8% for 5 year term 25 year amort Exit strategy 1: sell in 5 years Exit Strategy 2: hold for 10 years with refi in 5 years Based on above assumptions here is what I see:Exit Strategy 1 End of Year 5 sell building for 2,813,772.03 Less O/S Debt of 2,303,085.00 Net Profit 510,687.03 Plus 5 Year Cash Flow of ` 149,867 *Principle Reduction (Included) 0 Total Net Proceeds 660,554.19 Less Down Payment 1,400,000.00 Net Loss:  (739,445.81) * Note-Principal reduction is already included in the reduced O/S debt amountExit Strategy 2 End of Year 10 sell building for 3,261,932.96 Less O/S Debt of 2,125,147.00 Net Profit 1,136,785.96 Plus 10 Year Cash Flow of 314,281.00 *Principle Reduction (Included) 0Total Net Proceeds 1,451,066.82 Less Down Payment 1,400,000.00 Net Gain 51,066.82 * Note-Principal reduction is already included in the reduced O/S debt amountGiven the above scenario, in my view, it does not seem to make any sense to buy now.

I started out as an investor in 2000 when CFDs and L/Os were still a thing, and watched as the Texas legislature gutted them because shady investors abused these tools. 

On average you will need to have a dscr os 1.255 On average you will need to put down 25%6.
