Navigating NYC's zoning regulations can be complex @Jon Pflueger, especially in M1-2 districts, which are primarily designated for light manufacturing and commercial uses.

What is broken about the quote feature?

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

And, the illiquidity of the investment is a feature, not a bug.

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.  

Funny enough I started listening to the Morris Invest podcasts from the beginning and just today happened upon the episode featuring @Kevin Estey.

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.

Always something new and cool going on in our market! 

Are there any other agents or investors using the Featured Agent program? 

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