It all depends on your goals. 

. $70k for a full gut renovation doesn't sound like much, depending on how many square feet the property is.Also, it might be worth finding another local investor in Lorain who understands the building court...you should be able to attend, tell them the story, and then find a creditable contractor to get this done or figure out what you could whole sell the property for so you can get out from under the stress.

Depends on the structure of the deal. 

You run into alot of $$ in that alone - regardless of what you build.Also depending on your business, you may want to check local zoning before buying land.

Depending on the size of the discount when the note was purchased, this often resulted in a 5- - 100% increase in ROI. 

Depends on the other investment. 

Yes the market is slower right now, we manage a portfolio of single-family homes in palm coast and palm bay, but we're seeing homes lease up in 2-5 weeks when priced for the market depending upon the market and condition and such. 

I am sure the answer is "it depends" hence the term "creative financing" but was hoping people might offer a few examples to help me think more about how i might approach deals where the seller is motivated and the property as been listed for a long time. 

When leaving Evolve, the specifics around bookings depend on the contract you have with them.

This is still preferable to platforms like Airbnb where there may be more fees depending on how much of the fees you pass through to the tenant via your pricing.
