@Scott Houin  There may be other non-obvious things they're doing, like common area maintenance, landscaping, road or parking area repairs/striping/paving or paying for insurance for the common areas.You might also look at what it takes to serve on their board.

But when we originally paved the roads, there was a large assessment based on the number of lineal feet your property had along the road. 

As nearby Piney Flats takes off, Bluff City is getting it's own facelift with newly paved roads and new water/sewer lines. 

After several homes & the obvious sacrifices it paved the way for my venture into REI multi's.

For example: if the offer was for 35% equity, perhaps the vesting schedule would be:Milestone 1: Site demo and clean up, passes inspection, on schedule, within budget 5%Milestone 2: Rough construction complete, passes inspection, on schedule, within budget 5%Milestone 3: Finish construction complete, passes inspection, on schedule, within budget 5%Milestone 4: Exterior landscaping, paving, and clean up is complete, on schedule, within budget 5%Milestone 5: Etc.Can any provide feedback and opinion of this structure?

(Budget decision).But 'high' figuring $13k appliances, $6k plumbing, $5k electrical, $2k paving/cement work, $2k painting (kids and me labor), $12k new flooring (kids and me labor), and  new roof, $14k (done!!). 

Enjoy a very long paved driveway and a larger than average lot...perfect for a swimming pool.

This time I'm going to use BiggerPockets, brush up on my math skills, and do the remodelling gig right--hopefully I don't turn it  into a "Hell is paved with good intentions" scenario. . .This will be my test to determine if I have the drive and determination to jump into real estate.Hmmm, so after my novella, does anyone have any thoughts on the Wheat Ridge purchase?

So far we have made a few repairs and have paved the parking lot.
