Yes they can sell in PA the shipping would just be more because of the factory it comes out of.

I have identified a property, however, I am having issues getting comparative comps as this is the first Shipping container style property in the area. 

I'll let Jimmy answer as well, but he may mean that unless you have a dump and nothing but 1 star reviews, one or two bad reviews will not sink your ship.

When they see you are serious and not willing to accept excuses, they'll shape up or ship out.3.

He seems so eager to jump ship that I’m afraid to let him go - wondering if I do if I’m exposed to much more risk and liability.

And if you popped some deals along the way it could be a paid apprentice ship and or get on a successful Agents team and learn the ropes .. go to work for a commercial brokerage that specializes in Multi..If you want a carrier in RE go into the field..

I have also been contemplating going the flat box route, but was fearfully of having long wait times on shipping.

You may also want to check Menards (online) - I ordered doors from them due to stock issues and pricing in our area on my last flip and they were good quality, excellent customer service and still more affordable despite shipping costs.

I cheer all of you on who can "get it" in marketing and captained that ship, seriously you deserve a big pat on the back.

@Wesley Sherow a very real concern that is not mentioned is the scope and eventual cost of the total rehab.One of the most challenging projects I ever did was a rehab that converted a 100-year old five story concert building on Seattle’s waterfront to a storage facility.It was built and served as an ice plant that produced blocks of ice that was loaded in ships holds to transport food stuff to other parts of the world.This project and any major rehab of an OLD building carries much greater risk than one designed from scratch.In essence, the entire building is a “hidden condition”, which gives the general and its subcontractors a very wide lane to discover and charge for many change orders to cover the surprises they find along the way.You would be wise to use higher estimates for known costs and add generous contingencies for the unknown ones you are apt to run into.
