I recently added a half bathroom out of existing space in a very high cost market.  

I think John Bianchi and Taylor Jones are both lights-out good in the space, but the buy-in to hire them is steep and it should be.

Borrowers should always shop around, especially in the hard money space where it is so easy to quickly get preliminary terms over the phone.

@Mario Morales - Personally, I would do some research in your target market and search (even it on zillow) for 2-4 family properties and see what agent(s) seem to transact the most in that space.

Moreover, the economic ripple effect will likely increase the need for commercial properties, including retail spaces, offices, and support services for the new facility and its employees.Strategic Investment OpportunitiesFor real estate investors, the strategic implication is clear: now is the opportune time to invest in Columbus.

Constructed in 1910, this property features a total of 2,793 square feet of living space.

Unfortunately there the space is leased.

If your manager is just 'keeping an eye' on things, collecting/reminding on a few rents here and there and some light cleanup while being compensated in free or reduced space rent then classifying them as 1099 subcontractor is great. 

Most real estate investors don't get into the investment space to become a landlord.

After that, an inspector will come out to check the space.
