I think it's very necessary to have a shared vision with everyone on your team (CPA, attorney, banker, etc) including your realtor.  

I have been given the vision of providing housing for the needy.

If so, I compare what I want to do with the property to the vision and views of the long range plan.If my development concept does not conform to the permitting authorities plans, I generally see my intended development as being a hard sell and elect to find a site that works with the general area development plans.Determining the Highest & Best Use once and if you have reason to believe the site can be used for your general purposes is another story. 

I love the visions and thoughts that generate from new technology.I think like most changes throughout history it comes off as intimidating and feels like it is going to put people out of certain jobs...which it will, but that just means new and different jobs will be created.  

But borrowers die, they become incapacitated and others may end up standing in their place to wind up business, so from the lending side, it would not be wise, IMO, to simply have a usurus note.State law should be investigated with peripheral laws as well, references to usury within any state may include tax law, commerce and other secured lending requirements where they may become applicable.

It is a rather complicated picture...but to me, demographics is quite important for my long-term vision because it correlates with the type of real estate we work with: apartments for young singles, starter homes for rent/sale, family homes, larger homes for the career professional, and downsizing houses for after the kids leave, and lastly retirement homes.

Align your short term actions with long term vision.

Without direct involvement in the selection process, there's a risk that the final choices may not align perfectly with your vision for the project.However, the "Pro's" of having them purchase the materials are:Streamlined Project Timeline --> Allowing the contractor to purchase materials can expedite the renovation process.
