Some lenders do see a 99-year lease..especially one that’s asumable..as pretty close to ownership, just with an asterisk.

When you say professional quote do you recommend just paying a trusted contractor to do a walkthrough or do you first recommend getting an inspection to figure out what’s fully wrong/needs to get fixed before bringing in a contractor?

That is your competition.I believe my recommendation will prove accurate.  

If it's not already grandfathered in as a multi-unit, you take the lot area divided by 750 sqft/du (for R-8 zoning), and that's how you come up with how many units you can do. See

Quote from @Kandice Morgenstern: I recommend you consult an attorney.

I ask everyone I meet who they recommend, like I asked my realtor for bankers and contractors etc, and in turn ask the bankers for realtors they like.

I recommend reading the book traction and following EOS - they have a one page business plan that is awesome to follow. any planner can work it's a matter of creating the plan and how to monitor and follow through with it which eos teaches

You will be waiting a long time - that as mentioned was a black swan event just like when they went to like 18%.Historically speaking expect rates to be between 5-8%. my recommendation to anyone buying real estate today is if you buy, expect to hold it for atleast 5 years 

Hindsight Critique•Continue to build relationships to increase deal flow•Property manager (Mercer Hughes) is critical to completing renovations and quick tenant placement•Continue to build relationships with private lenders and personal investors•Have cash available to make quick competitive offers Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

If possible, can you recommend something real estate-related?
