**I'd really appreciate your thoughts and experiences as I navigate this journey of growing my network and client base.

Hey guys,Looking to buy a property for long term appreciation budget around 1.5mI wanted to ask your thoughts on the new Mercedez-Benz project in Brickell.Some info can be found here: https://miamiresidential.com/mercedesbenzbrickell/Is it a good investment?

First I thought I could buy a NPN, convince the owner to sell and I would approve a short sale, thus everyone wins.

I'd be willing to live in it which appears to have some benefits for a condo conversion depending what town you're in.The thought being that we could buy a duplex/triplex/quad, convert it to a condo, and sell off the remaining units leaving me with (at the end of the day) an affordable housing option.Here are the condo zoning laws that I found for Sunnyvale: https://www.huduser.gov/portal...My understanding is that they don't do condo conversions with <3% rental vacancy rate, but it looks like it was 3.1% from the most recent HUD market analysis for my area that I could find: https://www.huduser.gov/portal...Does anyone know someone who has done a condo conversion in the Bay Area?  

I wanted to share some thoughts I have been developing for my clients regarding potential investment opportunities in older low-rise condos in Miami, Florida.

I'm glad to hear it is working out for you so far.  61% occupancy is more than I thought for this area, so I'm pleasantly surprised.  

I would talk to the sellers, but they thought that they would be able to pay their house off right before the foreclosure with your friend’s help.

Thoughts on why you (or anyone else) like to be more strict on that versus income? 

Thoughts?
