Look for Harte Hanks if they publish a Pennysaver-type publication as well as Auto-trader and similar pubs in your area.Look at Senior Centers and find what they offer.

Ideally, the report would include details of material costs, and labor costs, so I can see each.

I have one year left so my aim is to acquire a property, ideally multifamily, before this year is up.

Is the space a great design for the needs of ideal restaurateur?

sorry about the typos I can actually spell water and renter ha ha....where is auto correct when you need it?

Or am I dealing with the wrong real estate agency?

Long story short They would not sign a new lease and it rolled over (auto renew for 1 year) and 2 weeks into the new lease they said they will be moving out.

The other huge issue is you'll need a heck of a good LOE - letter of explanation to sell the UW (underwriter) on why this is ideal to be  your primary residence using factors the UW deems as variables that make sense for a primary occupant (larger family, location, schools, sob story, etc, etc).

I have a friend who buys and sells cars at the auto auction and wants to somehow figure out a way to work together with me using my money and no other real resources (i'm not involved in business).

What do you want that to look like ideally?
