If it is a high-end project, I would spend on an actual lIcensed designer.

We have done lots of research about the city, but I know there are things that can come up from people with experience, especially since we are OOS (and out of country too actually!).

Many of those properties don't actually produce income due to turnovers, vacancy, maintenance and damages and you're lucky if they appreciate enough to keep up with inflation.

The teacher was an actual financial educator but they repeated themselves a lot and were telling the students to go in and apply for credit cards DURING the course to purchase the next course for $15,000!

Basically you find these distressed properties in pre foreclosure, probates, divorces, or just ugly vacant properties. then you calculate the Max allowable offer and if it makes sense you call up the property owner, get it under contract for dirt cheap, then you assign the contract to a cash investor for an assignment fee. this is the general idea obviously it gets more in depth, but its finding deals that you would buy as a fix and flip or brrrr, and instead of actually buying it you sell it to other investors.Ahh I see, thanks for clearing that up.
