The build environment effects us all in some shape or form (no pun intended) and to approach real estate as both a design AND investment opportunity, i believe you can set yourself apart for the better.  

There is a price for that convenience in the form of a lower selling price.

This would be a step back for me in my professional career, however this may be my best chance to get my foot in the door. 

I pay a VA to do it for me.  

For me, I found that they were willing to be more flexible and find options when problems arose instead of saying no.  

Regardless, I would get a paper trail going and if nothing forms within 7-14 days go to an attorney to get the ball going; your attorney fees can be spread through the other homeowners so don't be afraid to spend a little money; like another post said, you MUST protect your investment.

It is also great that your wife is into real estate investing.Y'all ought to form some sort of corporation or an LLC after you get some professional help from a CPA and\or an Attorney.  

At 2% Net Cap Rate - to make 100K a year - the property has to be ~5MM.And I'll need 25% of that as down payment - 1.25MMThat's not easy for me - nor very fruitful.So, I wonder whats the point of this.In contrast - if you look at flipping houses from a foreclosure - its not uncommon to see routine gains like 50K on a 500K asset.

You should consider becoming a Pro member because the forms have more stuff than most people realize or think about.

Did not form business yet but idea is to redo everything and keep collecting the checks for next 15 yrs. my partner thinks it's not a good idea to change drywall sheets but change everything else.
