Hi @John Daniels - the mortgage company I work for, Assurance Financial, is based out of Baton Rouge and we have offices throughout Louisiana.

He launched a small OZF to revitalize a vintage office building in a transitioning neighborhood.

Here are a couple of developers you should take a look at Trion Properties, their principal Max Sharkansky posts here on BP, https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/top-5-markets-multifamily-rentals-2019and Feldman Equities out of Tampa (3rd generation real estate family famous for having built the terminals at Chicago O'Hare) who are among the only ones opening up downtown skyrise office buildings to accredited investors.

Yes. 1,341 lenders. 8,000 plus family office and fund manager contacts plus a download center.  

Report him to your local licensing boards as well as make police reports, even if not a realtor he will get large fines and potentially criminal charges. 

Higher rent, guaranteed rent payment, collections and damage you just call their commanding officer.  

The equity pay down in many RE classes (residential, storage, hotel/motel, office space, industrial, etc) ispaidby the tenant.- there are ways to never pay tax on gains (1031, owe until death, etc)- cost segregation can in effect have RE acquired at no cost- sweat equity can produce additional return.  

You must keep the tenants security deposit at a bank that physically operates a branch office in the State of NC.  

The easiest spot would probably be the dining room and change the office to more of a smaller dining area. 

my wife and I have small positions with Bam and have also met in person with Ivan at his office in Indy..
