Hey, I host a local meetup in Palm Beach Gardens every first Saturday and my next event is this Saturday the 2nd and i will have David Dweck speaking about how to make the most money in todays market and ways to save what you make.

@Ayoka Moss It's not clear from your post whether you're asking for money or for ways to raise funds. 1) If you're looking for money partners, you should post the details under BP Marketplace2) If you're asking for ways to raise funds, a lot of it depends on your expertise and track record.

I'm currently pricing out around $170 PSF for garden style multifamily, which is about 30% higher than my previous project.

@Daria B. seems like you've done lots of research, I've done quite a few renos and have build some brand new homes, one that was featured in a magazine http://www.ottawamagazine.com/homes-gardens/2012/05/11/a-house-we-love-a-cliff-side-dwelling-in-chinatown-and-on-lebreton-flats/, the recurring question I keep hearing is is worth it for a buy/hold.

It is unlikey any similar sales in the area i.e 10 unit walk up garden apartment built in the 60s.

Hey everyone, has anyone had any experience in adding a 2nd entrance (door) to an existing garden unit, we have a garden unit that only has 1 entrance and we would like to either add a back or side door, has anyone done this before and what are the potential issues?

If nothing else it's always a good deal to get your mortgage paid in the interim especially if you aren't making use of the property.Cashflow is about $680 per month after all expenses- mortgage, property tax, insurance, HOA, monthly fees for agent, gardening, pest control, pool cleaning.

We use the following addenda with all leases:Asbestos DisclosureBed BugsLead-Based Paint DisclosureMold and VentilationSmoke Alarm & CO DetectorPlumbing (how not to clog up your plumbing, resident will be charged if we come to snake a clog and the clog was caused by anything other than toilet paper or organic material)Estimate of costs of certain items they'd get charged for out of their deposit at turnoverPest ControlAppliancesThe following addenda are included with leases on a case-by-case basis:Refinished Surfaces Care & Maintenance InstructionsCondominium/PUD (who the HOA is, whether resident has been provided with a copy of CC&Rs & Rules & Regulations)Fireplace Addendum (decoration-only, clean-burning logs only, gas, etc.)Landscaping (resident responsible to water, owner pays for gardener)Parking (only used if resident pays for an additional parking spot/storage/garage)PetPool/SpaSatellite/DishHardwood Floor Care & MaintenanceLastly, due to the recent legalization of marijuana in CA, we are sending out a Smoking Addendum to all residents specifying that smoking both medical and recreational marijuana are prohibited by the no-smoking clause in our lease agreement, as well as e-cigarettes and vaping devices.

Garden City..?  

What I can think of so far:Pros:- Convenience- Build relationship with neighbor - If things work out, can use him for small fixes on a day to day - Potentially develop garden suite together down the road- I know where he lives so he's less likely to run off with my money?
