I have to go before a town board to petition this.All the surrounding houses are sfh, and the building commissioner was uncertain if they would allow it.  

Beware with dealing with this person..He is a thief...goes by various names John, Jack, Osh, Cavalari Common..etc..takes your money and then uses it for other purposes..I have a case opened on him at the Nevada State Contractors Board.

But on the other hand I think the process and cost of your class monthly brokerage fees and board cost aren't worth it for investors.

I did a SFR flip there in 2015 and made a really good returnThey've been discussin LA River revitalization for 30+ years but it seems to be gaining steam, local gov is on board, and they've been approved some funding from the fed

It's one or the other if they are not on board. 

Large commercial buildings are boarded up, fenced off, covered with graffiti.

And that one risk, is the same one that landed me a job with a local investment bank when I penned a letter directly to the chairman of the board ripping apart his old school view on education after an interview that aired on public television.April 2010: After rising thru the ranks at the bank, I realized the investment banking culture was too cutthroat, and simply not right for me. 

I sat in on a board meeting before purchasing, and went through their financials.  

I also post these up at any diner or hardware store with a community bulletin board.  4, NETWORKING and word of mouth.

Which seemed to be a nice way to do it but we had a lot of our own money tied up in it.I have approached different lenders/ or hard money people and they seem to be all over the board.
