How to hire a design team, what to look for - do you run all the agreements under the architect or separate and why…..To me anyone going into a this type of program is going to be disappointed.

I learned a lot about the real estate side of the project and we now have the skills to help others work through this process.What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

Purchase price: $545,000 Cash invested: $545,000 New Construction Duplex - Beautiful Design and very nice curb appeal. 3 bedrooms 4 bathroom - All bedrooms have private bathrooms.

The one big caution I would have for investors on the design is don’t make the room size too small.

Realize that you need to design around it.  

In my opinion though, I would not touch your rental.

Jump in!

Those effected go well beyond the property owners, the economic contribution of RE and subsequent economic loss in the form of: management, maintenance, landscaping, caretaking, hospitality, tourism, contracting, designing, pools and gardening is economically catastrophic and will reverberate well beyond specific zip codes.

It's real estate in markets with population growth, it's pretty hard to lose money if you get an inspection and appraisal.
