Should a developer wish to repurpose the parcel in the future, we would welcome the discussion.

I like this blend of durability and classic look.Kitchens i go with white shaker cabinets, and neutral granite.

that's my two cents.Watch the Movie Glenn Garry Glen Ross to learn how salesmen learned their craft or Tin men ... either one is classics Or go to a time share presentation or simply walk on a car lot...

EDIT *** this is what I ment to but under " However, I was reading an article from an investor than he said this:"it's not letting me cut and paste go here:http://www.nextphasehomes.com/WholesaleNotes.pdfand read under "Classic Mistake, grossly underestimating repairs or not having a repair estimate"

Are you going to repurpose the church or keep it as is?

I'm just not sure if I'll find a way to repurpose or save it before it becomes a hopeless derelict.   

That is the surety that the buyer has.You are one of the classic "if it's so easy, why doesn't everyone do it," people that every entrepreneur is warned not to listen to.I doubt it takes years to get a building permit unless that state is run by illiterate idiots.

Classic approach I'd say, I can see the line forming already!

Enough money to buy healthy meals if you don't like to cook, etc.But the one thing I can't generate any more of is time.In the next post I'll outline how we made the money and how long it took (about 30 years), and the event of fortunate timing and good luck that started it (my grandmother pushing my parents to buy some apartments after the S&L crisis around 1990 - when banks could barely give complexes away and you could do 90% leverage deals).I'm the fortunate son of a grandmother who had a classic value investor's eye (even though she was trained as a nurse) and who started buying single family homes back in the 1950's and renting them out.

Inventing something and turning it into a profitable business is a classical way to make that much money.For real estate you absolutely can get there, but you have to be willing to take on a lot of risk to do so.
