I struggled with debt management until I incorporated this pay bi-weekly "law".

As a GC I'll still try to negotiate a DP, perhaps only 5-10% (maybe even less depending on contract value) in this arrangement, but it's def not a deal breaker if those terms aren't incorporated into the contract since the largest capital outlay is not part of my scope.

After incorporating you'll want to then file for a tax exemption with the IRS.

or do I only incorporate myself in Canada?

For example we largely scaled our portfolio with conventional loans, but when considering our overall application for a new conventional loan we don't get flooded with details on the other properties because it's incorporated into a business entity. 

She specalizes in corporate rentals.

We have now lost the property - In the morning I will be contacting the attorney general office for my state as well as Delaware where they say they are incorporated.

I am not a debt investor, a bond investor nor am I an investor in corporate debt, private equity debt, peer to peer lending, etc.  

I think there are two maybe 3 ways to look at this in my mind.  1) you go into it and bring it all up to modern standards but using that old charm to basically take what is there bring it up to modern standards and rent it out essentially I'm thinking cocktail bar or something trendy like that.2) most banks are on really good centrally located real estate if this is true, then I'd consider it for the dirt, plan to scrape the lot and go vertical with whatever the highest and best use is.3) a kind of combo of the two, if the lot is in a good location and its doable, pull the vaults or other "character pieces" out of the building, scrape the lot, and build whatever is best suited for the site there, but incorporate those historical pieces into the final designs.Is the site near a major retail area?
