Have you Dad give you a loan for around 100 million dollars and inherit part of his properties as well as your grandfather's organization (Trump Organization), and there you go.With the 100 million and real estate network already in place, you have the sufficient leverage and wiggle room to take the necessary risks and scale at a fast pace, then make cutesy catch phrases to impress naive teens and the uneducated.In conclusion, prey on the poor and weak, take aggressive measures against them, keep raising rents in these units while avoiding maintenance, and use the large cash flow to buy marquee properties in cities after multiple generations and 50 years of the money working for you.Capiche?

Is that just a level of risk you're comfortable with or do you have measures in place to mitigate that risk?

That's why I think a more measured approach will actually generate wealth faster at this stage of the market.

One more complicating factor is that the property in back cuts over 5’ so the lines aren’t straight, but according to the deed the measurements show me the trees are mine.

Bay Area Designs told me they needed to measure all 3 units since the third unit appears to be using a portion of the other unit; they need to update the city of the measurements.My goal with this property is to use the 2 car garage and the existing space to create a permitted third unit.

.* Allocating costs by project and measuring time (costs may be export to QuickBooks, or similar).* Seeing dependencies to know what must occur first before another can (Gantt charts).I took a look at Asana- that is looking pretty good too!
