We have extensive equity available (over 400K) and extensive savings to get the project moving.

Hi McKenzie,It sounds like your first renovation project was a great success!

And he lives right across the street from the project so spends NO money on commute ..

Don't rush into huge projects.

I had something similar in a property.Tenant thought there was mold in the ceiling.

All the tree houses I have seen are on posts and not in actual trees.I am not sure how you would finance that kind of project.

Yes, you should probably look at local banks and credit unions as best options for this type of project

By your own admission you don’t have the balance sheet to buy real estate or borrow and haven’t taken any projects full cycle.

You will want to run projections on each individual property to ensure that it will produce enough revenue during peak season to cover your low season months.

I had someone who did somewhat the opposite, where they changed their mind and wanted 10' basement ceilings and did not check the grade with the invert of the sewer in the street and had to add pumps etc. to their system.
