Worth noting that most firms will do two types of studies (although they may be named differently) - detailed engineering and modeling.

And each former LP (now a tenant in common) can do a 1031 exchange on their portion. 

I guess I can just find that here :) I did a bit more research just to be sure I wasn't missing out on anything and wasn't keen on the "God" talk that commingles with their business model. 

We have talked about things such as rent by the room and acknowledge that the operating model will likely be very different while living in the property vs. when we move out.I think the point you made about assumable loans is very helpful to get into a property you might not otherwise be able to afford.

I think you'll see the model continue to evolve in the future, with more "next gen" firms popping up.

Our last deal we engaged a mortgage broker that also brought a Private Equity LP (Limited Partner) to the deal. 

-contacting several LP's nationally that take on large investment opportunities-posting on loopnet-sending the link to the website we built-out to all the the top real estate agents in our local market.I did not think of the Facebook group channel, so thanks for that recommendation @Ryan Arth!

Having used both, I would go with propstream if you're looking for a solid data platform, and are investing significant money into other systems as part of your business and its growth model.

We are everyday approaching a European model where people own less and less of both land and buildings. 

I too, am hopeful the City gets the right model at the building department to handle the volume of permits and inspections.
