During the bust, I got busy with a 100% DIY remodel of my current house to make it more attractive to the next buyer (or appraiser) and, thru my effort, managed to at least not *lose* any value when things tanked.

That being said there are plenty of design build firms out there that are capable of that but don't expect all GC's to be ready to design your project for you. 

Nice job with the kitchen design and such.  

Design and get business cards as soon as you decide what you want to do.The main Team members are Attornies, real estate Agents, CPA's (or accountants), General Contractors, Inspectors, and Handyman.  

Open Houses were designed for brokers to collect unrepresented Buyers and sellers to grow their business, not sell the home.  

@Jean-marc CabrolI am a retired tax attorney and I like to invest in real estate funds but I was suspicious of Equity Build offer and structure I invested in another company that paid 8% fixed with no fees - the principal and manager teaches real estate and has done deals from high end San Francisco to mixed use in Puerto Rico to small turnkey homes in Midwest etc His diversification by market and by type of property is what attracted me My money has been cross collateralized against all the fund’s assets You can private message me I can tell you about that company because they have been up and running for 10 years or just look for a similar company where youvtruly get to meet and know the owner

I've also got 3 customer homes closing in the next couple weeks, I need to design and plan the renovation for my student rental that we closed on last week, I just wrote an offer for another property to flip and hopefully I can help @Kerry Baird to buy the house that's coming up for sale 2 doors down from mine!

I'm curious if it can be attractive to offer cheaper broadband than individuals can get by getting a higher bandwidth line for my 6 family.

He got banned for talking about "his company" too much.Most Crowdfunds don't allow DIYers and will frown against it because doing anything with someone new is too risky.There are some models and programs within different crowdfunding portals that are designed for the DIYer and have developed systems to minimize the risk the "newbie" has in a project, so that the Investor is more secure.
