We have created equity in all our deals and want to keep doing it. 

Question, is it better to keep the concrete slab and rough plumbing or demo that too? 

Would love to keep the conversation going and learn more from your experience!

I agree with Andrew, if you have cash do your first project with your own money to prove proof of concept, many lenders will want to see you have experience and can manage and handle the project.

using a hard money lender is a great resource . what is the project looking like ? 

I enjoy woodworking and epoxy projects. 

I'd like to follow your journey with them if you go through with this so definitely keep us posted.

I’ve helped with family and friends’ projects before, but those were mostly DIY.

I own property in VT and looked at a similar project in the past. 

My plan is to keep as a rental property.
