.:-)This is a 11-unit multifamily in a quiet residential area, across the street is a cemetery.  9 are 1 bed 1 bath (8 is currently rented with $550/month), 2 needs to be converted to 1 bed 1 bath (not ready for rent yet).  

For the record, I have a 1989 square foot, 100 yr. old rowhouse in South Philly converted into a duplex nr.

Getting ready to move into the dreamhouse on a small lake in a few weeks.Decided to convert the basement (seperate entrance already) into a 1 bedroom apartment.

Also interested in wholesaling and finding distressed properties and converting to contracts using private lender capital.I hope to make friends, build a professional network, learn new investing strategies from seasoned investors and perhaps find my way into the career I’ve dreamed of for so long, but never did anything about.

you'll be in a bad place if it's illegally been converted to two units.

The stated objective is to convert the industrial to commercial in this area.

You could write the initial contract to state earnest money is not refundable but it would be difficult to find a buyer willing to accept these terms as they are not standard for the market here.I offered to extend the contract only if the buyer makes an additional non-refundable earnest money deposit and converts their original earnest money deposit to be non-refundable as well.

Since you are considering a Solo 401k, I would suggest holding off on converting to a Roth IRA.

The most promising is converting my current Brokerage IRA into a Custodial type IRA to used to fund some initial purchases.  

I have yet to convert any of these leads into a sale and have canceled my service.
