It can totally be done, even in this market.

We signed P&S agreements on 6 different properties totaling 20 units approximately 8 months ago and received a call today that the price we thought we were buying at has to-be increased on average 13% due to the increased cost of construction.

I was just on their website looking at the permit process:CityofSac-STR PermitLooks like 90 days max until you get a conditional use permit but still reading as it seems a little unclear:A short-term vacation rental may operate from a location that is not the operator's primary residence for a total of 90 days in a calendar year.

She walked away with $1,500 in hand, and we salvaged the deal, netting $8,500 in the process.That deal reinforced two crucial lessons: first, title issues can create unexpected hurdles, even in straightforward transactions.

So, If I put in $500,000, the total amount of shares rises to $1,500,000 and I own 500,000 shares while my partner still owns $1,000,000. 4) When we sell the property at a profit, the net profit will be distributed based on a percentage of share ownership.
