Of course the seller knows the risks and obviously should consult someone else prior to accepting an offer. 

Consulting with a financial advisor or real estate mentor who understands your specific goals and circumstances can provide valuable insights tailored to your situation.

It may be beneficial to consult with a contractor and real estate professional to assess the best option for your specific situation.

They can consult for you and help tell you what you are allowed to do, or they can complete the entire remodel for you as well.

I used to work in Consulting for DHL Supply Chain in their robotics division.

I got a good feel from the initial consultation with respect to them being investor friendly, for example the CPA I spoke to said that their clients often run deals by them before closing to foresee any tax implications. 

Now that I've got some capital, connections, lenders and experience, I'm looking to break into the multi-family space.I would love to consult with an experienced real estate professional to gain some insight on the following:- Ways to structure partnerships on larger multi-family deals (15+ units)- Building multi-family VS.

Along with talking with developers, you could hire a consultant to help you complete due diligence on your property to help you identify the highest and best use of the property.

If you need financial advise, spend $1,000 consulting a fiduciary fee only (fee only is very important) financial advisor.

@Edward JordanI recommend a consultation with real estate tax accountant to discuss your options and potential tax implications.
