@Rob Bianco Investing OOS can certainly be a scary proposition at first. 

I'm pro-401(k), but it's not an "either/or" proposition for me as you stated in your post.  

Also, joining the local REI club and Realtor association to network.As with any business, you must play up your Unique Selling Proposition (USP).  

Does that seem like a reasonable proposition?

In overview, some of the attractive propositions of the Coliving model to tenants are flexibility, convenience, community and affordability. 

Yes, the penalties can be bought down, but that is a very expensive proposition.

The house will need a considerable amount of remedial work and money to get it up to code standards.My proposition would be to put up the money to fix the property to code standards and rehab it to get top dollar on the market.

If I were to approach him with a value add deal proposition, how does one accurately determine what this commercial property is worth as it sits, and also the ARV?!

So a tenant might actually prefer this type of protection - being the only lien holder.And for you, in this situation, as far as I've been told, you'd only be out the money you originally invested.I posted about the second property we visited in Sokcho and touched more on the risk / reward value proposition here:Korea, Sokcho Investing

When we buy from the MLS our value add proposition is that we don't take a buyers agent commission.
