I negotiated through the original contract and then put the rest of the deal together with an existing group of investors.

"Cross selling" is _________________:a) When you go to your sales job wearing clothes more typically worn by the opposite gender.b) Just like it sounds: literally selling crucifixes. c) A strategy wherein a business strives to encourage existing customers to purchase adjacent products complementary to an item that the customer has already bought in a prior transaction, or is currently on the verge of purchasing.d) All of the above.

It makes you look like you’re asking for a new build, not an existing home. 2) Anytime you mention big items like HVAC/roof.

@Benoy Varghese When I take over a property I send a letter to the existing tenants introducing myself and telling them where to send rent and provide the necessary information regarding my policy for dealing with maintenance issues.

These don't require you to live in the property, so you could close with the existing tenants in place and then move in once their leases expire.

Also, I'm not sure if you are demoing an existing structure, if the structure is freestanding, etc, but this will obviously greatly affect your overall budget.For our project, most of the material prices are in line with expectations, but where we've been shocked with recent increases is the soft cost. 

Unfortunately, the great jumbo products of First Republic no longer exist but maybe in the future another lender will repeat that one.....

Garbage disposals are the bain of the existence to most landlords.

The load calculation made for the existing foundation were not factored into the initial design.

I am never looking for a sure thing as I don't really think they exist but I don't want to get into something that I am not sure how it will look in 3 or 5 years.The only way I would look at this deal is if it is perfect for getaways and relaxing for me and the family and anything I made would help pay for those experiences.
