In fact, Josh and Brandon did a pod cast last year where the guys specialized in raw land I believe (solely because no one else was in that "space.")

I think you re asking the right questions, looking at the BP marketplace is a good way to begin your research and drilling down a solution that aligns with your goals.Turnkey comes in different flavors, ultimatley it is suppose to be a simple entry in RE without having to construct your own infrastructure, for good passive investment cash-flow.Main takeaways: Turnkey comes in different flavors: Simple Passive Income - the Turnkey home is direct purchase from the supplier, it is operational and managed by themStreamline construction and uniformity materials for maximum economies of scaleResearch the area, visit the space possibly, meet the teamI hope this helps you a little bit more as you try to define the type of culture you seek to align yourself with.

I am working on financing a 6 unit retail space right now and 1 of the units is not rented. 

I only cared about getting the space back on time for the new tenant and in a condition where the new tenant could move in and begin operating immediately.This required a lot of additional work on my part, and I executed these re-lease subleases for no fee, but it solved a business problem for the client and he was always glad to hear the course of action led resolving a business problem he wouldn't have to spend time addressing.In return for my efforts, I got to spend a tremendous amount of time around a brilliant business mind.

we shall see if we can afford the space necessary, but it is our current plan. we love the urban environment, things to do (things to do for kids too!)

Is it smart to spend the money on creating another living space and what would it do to the resale value of the home?  

There are around 40 families moving here every day and we just don't have the space for everyone, so neighborhoods like that are going to start improving whether they like it or now.
