He's gonna perform a load calculation, take a look at the support to see if it's exhibiting any stress and then tell you that it's been functioning for 113 years and will probably continue to function for years to come.

either way you will also make it more functional by having a 16' garage door instead of 2 - 8'. 8' are nice because it creates a sense of more privacy when only one is open.

If you learn how to recognize a good deal then you can work on building a partnerships but you will only find the information and people you need through Networking.

All the best with the partnership!

Thanks for any partnership info you can give.

Our real estate capital fund is currently depleted due to a recent purchase.We do not use partnerships, hard money lenders, seller financing, Sub-2, turnkey companies, or LLCs.

And that 3-6 months turned into 2yrs.I had to find a new way to skin the cat and quick, the only answer I found was partnerships.

Every partnership I know of ended BADLY.

It's difficult to say without seeing the place, but my first reaction would be to leave it as is, or perhaps convert to a 2br if upstairs bedrooms are truly non-functional.

You can have your partnership agreement, you can do other agreements as well that can govern most any issue, change orders, punch list, time frames, who hires and pays subs, insurance, profits and other issues.Who you partner with always makes a difference, but I'd think as slow as construction is getting a decent partner wouldn't be too hard, just be in a position to hire and fire if necessary.Adam, sorry, missed the insurance question.
