We are new to the business, so we appreciate the offer to help. 

Are you building for pure investment purposes or are you looking to use some of the space for personal/personal business use?

High taxes, a declining population, and an environment that is less than friendly to businesses are important factors to consider.

@Kyle Carter You cannot directly use a 1031 exchange to purchase a primary residence, as the IRS mandates that the replacement property must be used for investment or business purposes.

It wasn’t a massive deal—our expected assignment fee was $10,000—but when you’re growing a business, every opportunity matters.Everything seemed to be moving smoothly until the title search revealed a major roadblock: the mortgage discharge couldn’t be cleared because the person who needed to sign off was deceased.

I've been in a co-living mastermind for a year, but I'm curious how you set your business up.

I didn’t leave lol, but I was speaking in terms of the business in general.

additional challenges are the inventory shortage and good contractors being extremely busy. 

We both have busy W2's and don't have the time right now to do more (which I'd love to do at some point).

I also have talked with this company but I feel they are not telling me the whole story, makes me leery of this business.
