Village to Village Network (https://www.vtvnetwork.org/) and Men’s Sheds Association (https://usmenssheds.org/) are successful models of people building community to improve the aging experience.So drawing on Dr Thomas and Nancy’s work and incorporating cohousing and pocket neighborhood elements into my communities, I have chosen to use shipping container homes in areas along the Texas coast where storms frequently cause wind and water damage.

But, I feel lots of these video influencers basically draw a "cult-like" following, for lack of better term.  

If you are borrowing for renovations, you will likely have a draw fee in the $100-300 range per draw.Selling costs: biggest one is commissions.  

Just crunch the numbers and ensure the terms work for your deal.Hard money typically funds up to 90% of the purchase price and 100% of the rehab costs on a draw schedule.

By way of example, a lender may charge retainage, only release soft costs upon C/O, may limit loans to a set number of draws or only allow draws once a certain dollar amount of work has been completed.

What I did find is that as a builder in eastern tennessee, I could build STR cabins for less than 70% LTV so that I could effectively BRRR my way into growth without coming out of pocket for a down payment.Now it does take a lot more cash to do because as a builder I have to front a lot of money at times (land, permits, each stage of construction while I'm waiting on the draw). 

Hard Money will fund 90% of the purchase price and 100% of the rehab on a draw schedule.

Draw two circles with 14 and 12 inches and then measure the volume. 

How would some of you guys go about drawing up a contract between us and the family member. 

My challenge is that the equity is siloed in a high number of properties which complicates our ability to draw against it and leverage that for operational and investment purposes.Do you all know of banks willing to work with investors and able to underwrite at the portfolio level, rather than having to apply for and open HELOCs on a per-property basis?
