What is the realty of converting a new Warehouse build into apartment spaces?

Sidenote: I am a note investor and play in this space as my full time job, so I am not some crackhead. 

I certainly don't want to get into the business of being a "bottom feeder" that takes advantage of people, but if there is space in the industry for someone to help people in your situation while making a fair profit, I wouldn't mind learning more and getting involved.If interested, message me.

Perhaps take a look at:  https://www.loopnet.com/ and see which types of commercial lease listings interest you and from there take inventory of which brokerage and listing agents are prominently features in the space that interests you.

You can simply use a free or occasionally paid coworking space when a meeting room is needed.To quickly zoom in on needing a meeting room: a thing to have in mind is that meetings here in Spain a lot of times are done during lunch with a decent priced menu of the day (the Spaniards immediately know what I mean).

New roof, exterior painting, new flooring, bathroom updates, finished new living space What was the outcome?

I tried to stay out of the way, but I had to stop several things from being done wrong—spaces between kitchen cabinets that were too small by at least an inch for the appliances to fit, a walk-in pantry being built that was too narrow for anyone but a child to get into.

If the marginal cost increase in buying a house that can be house hacked (a house with a basement, a duplex, etc.) is less than the rents you expect to bring in from renting the additional space, why not do it?

All the rest can be subbed out unless you are doing a full remodel by adding square footage to the house/converting a space (bath/bed etc).

Be really careful if you go this route, there are some shady actors in this space.
