If you don't have sponsorship, by definition you don't have a deal - full stop. in some aspects, but but I'd argue in development you have to find land and partners at the same time. you have to have a competitive advantage and local knowledge. may not apply and probably different sectors. we break development up into multiple raises like Series A, Series B, etc in venture debt and discount equity tranches based on what stage the investor comes in for higher returns it's earlier like when we are investing in engineering services etc we recapitalize and spend our money with an equity sale and recapitalization. structured finance is so interesting 

If you tour the property and it looks like a good investment, then I would move forward with an offer that included a discount price based on the cost of eviction.

Hi @Rodney Swindle,To answer your first question, appreciation is based on how people value the property.

It's going to be nearly impossible to ballpark based on what others might be paying.

I'm based in Dallas.Not really mate, "people buy people" and I never was a fan of "promoting" my business or selling crap from stage.But now that I think of it, might get some branded stand up banners, quick fold up picnic table, 3 pretty ladies and just have a set up in the lobby hahaJokes

If you have any recommendations or are willing to share your experiences, I would greatly appreciate it.As I prepare for the inspection period, I want to ensure I cover all bases and make informed decisions. 

If you just make a choice based on something on a spreadsheet there could be a lot of lions that come up and bite you.

I'm committed to providing exceptional service to investors and am excited to contribute to the real estate investing community here on BiggerPockets.Looking forward to hearing from you all!

I can think of mortgage, taxes, insurance, STR insurance, water/sewer, electricity, trash, internet/cable, cleaning (can pass through), supplies, and software.

It can be a tricky market to navigate, with different cities having different point-of-sale requirements, and Cleveland has lead-based paint requirements for rental properties.
