Trump is talking of selling off government buildings and getting the federal government or GSA mostly out of the real estate business. 

When building my home, I could easily have added $1M to the price tag by just using concrete and steel.  

I'm interested in learning about rental property investment, looking to build a rental portfolio, exploring real estate investing to replace my income.

For example, in my market, we see MF building permits way down for the last 2-3 years.

I would assume that it should be blocked off with some type of decorative tile or something of that nature.

Where I’m Focusing: Ohio (Dayton and Cincinnati) — I already have trusted partners for renovation and construction.Investment Strategies: I’m interested in fix-and-flip and BRRRR.Open to Networking: Real estate agents, investors, contractors, and anyone passionate about real estate.My Goal: To learn from experienced investors, share ideas, and build a scalable real estate business.Looking forward to connecting and learning from this great community! 

We were going to partner together on it where I build and run a STR on it.

Amen to this, thank you for the suggestion.Yea I've taken on the risk of not having a day job and building a business, it's pretty stressful and you're building out of necessity instead of passion.

For reference, we currently build 1 million homes per year just to keep up with current demand.

Plus, very important to understand the new layout and how the dig down will effect the existing stairs, plumbing, etc.Happy to connect and talk through your specific situation because @Bruce Woodruff mentioned every project is different and know one price fits all espeically with these complex jobs.Where at in Chicago is your building?
