Perhaps you could look in some of the surrounding towns of the ones you listed and could find a property at a lower price but path of progress could be moving there.

But I would not say I hit the ground running: I was very excited, yes, but the first years progress was very slow.

Begin with lesser initiatives to obtain expertise and build a track record, then progressively scale them up.

**edit: forgot to include that rent by room is not very popular in Fresno.

If you can come to agreement on how and when things will be done, you give him a chance to continue but you monitor progress closely.

It is the most popular software in the industry and all CPAs know how to navigate it which is nice.

I am considering buying land and learning ground up construction, so just wondering how much progress you have made (if you decided to subdivide and also if you did a tear down and rebuild or just renovate) 

This isn't progress; it's a leap towards tomorrow.Recognized for its forward thinking approach SMFL is joining forces with Vertalo, a US based tokenization platform to launch a pilot program that has the potential to transform the real estate landscape.

Look at secondary markets in the path of progress from major metro areas.  

Happy to hear things are progressing, Hope it closes soon.
