The property checked every box for me, and as a bonus, the seller was even willing to offer financing.

What we do, is make sure we can make money on the property, regardless of whether or not we can subdivide or not, and think of the subdivision as a bonus if we can do it, instead of the only way to make the deal work.Hope this helps!

The money is an added bonus. :)

And considering everything else he does for me, it is worth it for me to pay him the extra bonus.

Account Closed  when I first went to Charleston 5 years ago I built the first new build on a street that would be considered the HOOD.. hands down.. and it was a risk .. but it turned out that myself and a few others have pioneered what was the hood on the West side of Charleston and proudly have transformed it.. you can do a new build there and have the house next door basically falling down and boarded and it will not affect values to much if at all.I would be all over the brokers if my escalator clause was not used..

One year ago, I dedicated myself to lifelong health and wealth which resulted in successfully saving 25% of my income, my first stint in investing, a body transformation, and led me to recently read Rich Dad, Poor Dad. 

However those costs will likely qualify for 100% bonus depreciation, which is an added benefit with the new tax reform.

Good to great companies began the transformation by getting the right people on the bus and getting rid of the wrong people.

The fact that you have family there is just a bonus.

If they were rented to something that you considered unsustainable and is just a unique bonus while it last then I wouldn't consider it.
