BTW, shoes at the corner...that's just hilarious...lol

Do you have ties to the area?  

Understanding the profile should help you walk in the shoes of this member.

Once you are able to find a site that is already zoned for multi-family- because rezoning to multi-family is very difficult- and tie up the site with an earnest money deposit, you've then got to engage professionals for: surveying, land planning, civil engineering, geotechnical, environmental, architectural, MEP design services.  

The worlds biggest shoe store is in Sharon. 

corner shops, liquor stores, freaking shoe stores.

i'll help @Steve Vaughan with thatLease options don't work well if the house does not appraise for the value of the contractSo if your exercise price is 100,000 and the house appraises for 90,000 at the time the tenant buyer applies for the mortgageIf the tenant buyer puts up $5000 and the house appraises for $90,000, buyers still need to pony up 10,000 to cover the differenceI have tied the exercise sales price to an "either or price" either at new appraisal or at a fixed price whichever is higher

I wish I could buy an REO and flip it, but as far as the strategy if i where in your shoes I would probably buy a 3-4 family or try to do another flip.

And I have also read some people will keep a max of 3-5 properties (depends on door #) per LLC, for just this reason, to limit exposure.I understand if you are personally tied to each property via loans, etc. then it makes no difference because you're already exposed.

We would be looking outside the mediation/arbitration.we are interested in  practical experience, in a general partnership, as how to move forward when both partners have different ideas.ei; tie breaker....Thank you in advance!
