Located in Crowley, LA, it fit Partner Driven’s strategy of finding homes in need of renovations that could appeal to buyers with modernized features and design.

I have a background in design and hospitality so I pair that with my knowledge on the real estate side of things.

Then, the program is designed to help people get back on their feet not subsides their rent forever like other programs.

Short sales by design are listed on MLS (always and always are arms length) and not below value, or the lender would more than likely decline any short sale offer.

(Noticed I didn't include architects in that list - from my experience most architects are great at building design but shouldn't try to do land planning.)If you have never done any development like this before than it would make sense to partner with someone who has (or flip it entirely) once you have a site plan of the property's potential.

It can be a conversation in search of a win-win, a mutual effort vs adversarial negotiation as on-market is designed to be. 

If not, hire a professional architect or floor plan designer, or use tools like RoomSketcher, MagicPlan, or Matterport to create them.

If you want to hit the projected numbers or even outdo them, your property must stand out in location, view, management, and especially design.

While designed to protect tenants, rent control has adverse effects on the broader rental market.

Some of the simpler asset protection solutions would include the following:  having max funds allowed in qualified retirement plan or IRA rather than personal as retirement plans are exempt assets in Federal and most state bankruptcies; investing through an annuity if your state (Florida and Texas for example) exempts insurance policies and defines annuities as an insurance policy; taking advantage of maximum homestead exemption in your state; use of corporations or more popular LLC or Series LLC to limit liability to the entity holding the asset; reasonable liability insurance if available; separating asset ownership from asset management; etc.I can design a simple, cost effective asset protection strategy of up to about $5million with little cost IF the individual resides in Texas or Florida.
