That’s why it’s important to touch the neighborhoods where you invest. 

- love the white brick and fireplace touch

It was, again, based on a lot of research and communications.Honestly, what drew me to open spaces was the personal touch.

I would rather be part of the GP.Broker-Dealers don't touch deals as small as the ones done by most real estate investors at this level.

Hey @Johanna Abanes - I would start by getting in touch with local rehab clinics/hostels and let them know what you're thinking, they will be able to better guide you than anyone on this platform (most likely) 

That’s the kind of personal touch you don’t always get with online banks, especially when the going gets tough.On the other hand, online banks are crushing it when it comes to tech and ease of use.

So if you were in my position, how would you use creative financing to build up to 10 properties in the next 3 years and not sell stock or touch retirement? 

@Jesse Dominguez-Castelan you could get in touch with a local bank in that town and explain to them exactly what you just did here and ask them if they have a product that might help you accomplish both the buyout and the renovations.

Stay in touch with your lawyer and document everything.

Every time we thought we had all the boxes checked, the city threw another curveball our way.One thing that eventually helped was getting in touch with someone directly in the zoning office.
