I haven't personally done this type of rental strategy myself; however am curious to hear more about your experience.

Find an architect who specializes in this type of work, and who is very familiar  with the building department

I would recommend talking to many lenders/brokers to see which one has the most experience funding these loan types. 

And, that could take a good 6-12 month given the type of Property (large restaurant).

I would not necessarily advise being cash flow neutral or negative before you account for these types of things.

2) Our brand is recognized by "X" agency for your type of home!

@Kevin Connauton most PMCs won't touch this type of renting due to all the additional headaches and liability.We second contacting PadSplit.

Purchase price: $355,500 Cash invested: $75,000 Rental Property near community college What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

The motivation is not necessarily to scale into larger opportunities but rather to achieve better balance and also optimize the performance of the projects and types of projects I currently pursue.I have no shortage of individuals who possess specific skill set who would want exclusive rights to that particular service vertical in return for contributing capital and a partnership interest (construction background and wants to take over all construction duties or someone who is a sales broker and wants to list all of the properties etc.)

It's was so easy for me getting started to get shiny object sindrome instead of locking in ONE STRATEGY, ONE NEIGHBORHOOD, ONE PROPERTY TYPE, ONE RENOVATION TYPE, etc.
