Thankfully, we caught it during the plan review stage, and with a stamped structural design, they got the kitchen of their dreams—without jeopardizing safety or facing surprise delays.Here’s what to think about when renovating:Structural Changes: Even moving a wall can have ripple effects on the stability of your home.HVAC Systems: New layouts might need adjusted airflow or ductwork.Plumbing and Electrical: Moving sinks, showers, or outlets requires careful rerouting to comply with building codes.Before starting demolition or submitting permits, have your plans reviewed by a licensed engineer or architect to avoid costly surprises.

Our team buys the properties and converts them and manages them so it has been a great learning experience seeing all three phases from taking down a project, renovating the building then managing the lease up.

Then use the experience to work out the kinks and build a strong boots on the ground team.

The building has some deferred maintenance that I have been dealing with.

I had been discussing this property with the owner for a while and saw its potential—distressed but with strong fundamentals and built-in equity.The deal was a great opportunity to apply creative financing, secure a property with minimal upfront capital, and build long-term cash flow.

In the long run, I want to build a portfolio that will bring in cash flow.Would be great to connect with all types of professionals who work in the area.

Quentin, build your knowledge, make sure all this is done correctly.Banks rarely call the loan just because of the deed being transferred, something else triggers this, mostly because the investor decides education is not worth the money.It can be because the Insurance was not done correctly, the seller does not understand the process, the Title Company does not know what to do so they call the Bank and make a mess out of the process and a few other factors,If the investor is knowledgeable on what to say to the Bank if they call this is a fairly simple conversation to have.

Trump is talking of selling off government buildings and getting the federal government or GSA mostly out of the real estate business.
