Maybe I am just getting too old for such visions and prefer to take the tried and proven route now.Maybe you have one of those dynamic personalities that can sell ice to Eskimos.In all fairness I will also say that these types of projects get approved all around the country all the time and there are those that actually specialize in this sort of conversion.

They reflect a mission, a vision, or the values that drive the founders.

Of course, I can help if you need info or my vision.

Paul Karr is who I used and he kicked me an off market deal after spending some time on the phone, sharing my vision and showing that I was serious.

Funny how retirement visions differ.   

@Vincent Pirrone I have a fear that there may be a component of "Engineers Tunnel Vision".

Someone just has to say "it works" and everyone gets visions of themselves swimming in a pool of gold coins."

@Long Di I don't know the condo market there that well, but here are my thoughts:-If you have a long-term vision (20+ years), waiting for a possible downturn to buy could mean that it never comes, or at least not to the level you'd pull the trigger.

Wholesaling is a business and it should be started, maintained, and flourish like one.Good business leaders create a vision, articulate the vision, passionately own the vision, and relentlessly drive to completion.

The question is what is your vision for the place and how profitable of an investment you want.
