That part went well.

@Tristan Kelly hope this goes well for you!

I understand the standard rate in the USVI is 6% but believe I should be able to negotiate down based on the expected sale price.

I'm an investor/agent/property manager in that area and would be very interested in hearing more about the property. 

I'll also give them a list of "must haves" based on comps as well (for example oversized kitchen island, dedicated powder room, minimum 48" hallways, large master closet, lots of windows for natural light, gas fireplace, minimum 10' ceiling in great room, consideration of sun exposure, etc).Also if you give a good architect your budget (for example I need to be able to build this for under $350/SF) then they will design something to fit that budget. 

Glad to hear that you are using Equity Trust already as they happen to be our official partner for self directed IRAs. :) It sounds like you are looking for a specific investment opportunity? 

Ryan, I appreciate your insight as well.

Definitely will be moving my other rentals over to him.  

I recently acquired a commercial mixed use at a great price and now that it’s fixed up, it’s worth considerably more and cash flowing well. 

I'd say they are doing quite well haha.
