I lent $225,000 of which $185,000 was for the purchase of the property and $40,000 is going toward renovations.As a lender I just want to get back my loan amount back (in this instance $225,000) if there is a total loss with the property.I have seen where a lender tells the insurance agent how much property insurance he/she wants based on a price per square foot calculation.On the other hand I have also seen where a lender tells the insurance agent that the amount of property insurance should be the loan amount in this instance $225,000.

@Sylvester Hardison, I am going to echo other's thoughts, but it also depends on what your current education level is and where you feel your weaknesses are.Within the multifamily space, for instance, there are a lot of groups out there.  

You can go to Redfin.com and put a search area in “list view” - versus map view and it will let you sort that area by all the table headers in the list - so you can sort them by $$/sqft for instance.  

In this instance, I chose not to include those since I replaced everything in the home, almost a gut out. 2.

For instance, in regulating chemical companies to not pollute with new novel chemicals in our rivers and oceans, without needing a new law from Congress.

It could take years to rebuild the community, and it may never recover in many instances.

In certain instances ( since your help as far as your solutions go is considered consulting), you could cross a red line and end up violating the law.

If for instance the service life is 10 years and they are 5 years old, it seems reasonable to charge their security deposit 50% of the costs of replacing the damaged units.Here is the HUD Service Life list if you are interested:https://www.hud.gov/sites/documents/EUL_FOR_CNA_E_TOOL.PDF Good Luck! 

I worked with many high-end designers, and some were great and other were just into their little niche styles (green for instance) and so the project sometimes can end up just looking weird.I would go on Zillow (or similar) and see what the houses in your neighborhood look like when they are fixed up pretty and ready for sale.

Are you the money and he is the hands guy for instance?
