I can send you his contact info, I also met an RE lawyer in Downtown Denver last week, I can send his info as well. 

We lend money for RE investments.

I have had this problem before ( a couple years ago) I just re-booted my laptop, restarted their app, and kept trying.

I am going to lend my own funds to a real estate investment company of which I own 50% of to purchase RE.

Even though WE are NOT originating a loan here; it would be the EX-Husband who would be "originating" the Loan (by taking back the Deed of Trust and Note) in order to SELL his 50% interest in the house, the TIE IN is with our BUYING or INVESTING in the purchase of the DOT and Note to generate CASH to him, and CASH OUT to Her is wherethis becomes a "Gray Area" of whether it violates any of the CFPB Consumer Financial Protection Bureaus requirements and could be re-characterized as a high cost LOAN IN DISGUISE ALTERNATIVE THINKING We are thinking a better way to go here IF the EX-Wife agrees; it to SELL the house NOW, pay off the EX- Husband and enter into a 3 year LEASEBACK with the buyer of the home. 

The basement meets all the criteria for a dwelling unit in Chicago, but we need to go through the re-zoning process.In addition, we have old R22 forced air units that we want to replace with a heat pump.

NOTE 2: if we choose NOT to upgrade the rooms, the units can't be in the hotel's pool of units to be rented out to guests.NOTE 3: right now, I'm losing about $1,500/moMy gut tells me to just get rid of this unit at a loss but I have a few questions I'm hoping someone can help me with (so far, I've asked some RE professionals I know but they don't have any idea).1) If I was to pay the ~160k for room renovations, does this mean the room increases value by at least that same amount? 

I want to get started in the RE space and get under the wing of someone more experienced in fix and flips.

Research or get referrals for RE brokers or wholesalers you specialize in off market deals and develop a relationship with them. 

I am currently in the education phase of my journey into RE and I am excited to learn as much as I can before jumping in.
