Also, you can't know how the cost of materials could fluctuate over your project time, so consider purchasing any materials upfront so you can stick to your budget. 

And i just wanna make sure we are prepared and can finish this project.   

He used to be great from the beginning of the projects.

Hello, To all my permit expediters and all other contractors, how do you all go about finding leads for projects? 

However, given the price points in NYC, I am looking to southern CT so that I can start small for my first project.

A good designer and architect are key for a successful project like this and keep in mind these aren't cheap.There's a lot more details to consider, feel free to DM me for more details.

My husband is leaning toward keeping it since it is a project we would have to deal with. 

I wanted to see if anyone is familiar with or can recommend paid mentorship programs or coaches for small multifamily unit investing (2-4 units).In my research, I’ve found that most mentorship programs or resources I come across are geared toward large syndication apartment building purchases or other types of investments, such as short-term rentals, medium-term rentals, single-family homes, Section 8, or fix-and-flip projects.

Here is an example with some figures:My LLC total investment = $204,000Partner LLC total investment = $196,000Value of project when complete = $500,000Each LLC value afterwards = $255,000 / $249,000The plan was for me personally to go get the refinance loan because the terms are so much stronger than if I went portfolio with the LLC.Loan total = $300,000 (keeping at 60% or under of value for best terms from the bank)Partner LLC payout = $249,000My LLC payout = $51,000In this scenario, I am struggling to see how to get the remaining equity in the project into my personal name? 

Do you mean it would need an architect because that's required by the jurisdiction, or because the project itself would need an architect's expertise?
