If you are piecing the work out to several different tradesman then each one may require a start up deposit and single payment at completion. 

I'm just north of you in Naples and also in the start up phase.

Having watched from the sidelines for the past ten years or so, I have finally decided to jump in and buy a few properties.  The only problem is all my money is tied up in a 401k.  I had hoped to borrow 50K to use tow...

The GP/LP structure has an expensive set-up, where EREIT, crowdfunding is not so expensive as a start-up cost. 

I am a partner C0-Founder and General Counsel in a Real Estate Crowdfund start upWe're in a whirlwind of activity in the start up of all that we're doing.He has given me the task of at least semi regularly checking the Real Estate Crowdfunding forum.  

I have to postpone my start up until the end of April because I am heading to Mexico in a couple weeks and won't be available to really focus on this until after I get back, but when I do...IT'S ON!

I'm not affiliated with this project in any way but as an architect who may want space to start up an architect/development company this has appeal in lowering startup costs.

But really more so because NY doesn't have strong enough protection for LLC and the startup cost is more compared to PA.

With some drive and what seems to be, not that much start up money, I feel I could own my first rental property by years end.

What about opening the company and for initial startup getting investors together and eaceach puts in XXX and receives a percentage of profit at years end.
