Not for me; the fact that you can add $65k in value with a single bathroom is mind-shattering to me, at least in our market, which is pretty healthy.

That will get you to the buy price at a healthy profit or cash flow.

There are multiple ways to skin a cat (even though I do not condone such behavior, lol).My personal preference is to create assets that cover my expenses.

After months of closely examining over 400 industries we’ve decided to put our initial focus on uniting the best and brightest minds to solve the ongoing problem of the outdated education system.We are offering an extremely affordable and flexible place for people to host their groups and events, we’re fostering the development of healthy communities and people who share common interests.I also did outline specifically what would happen if the tenants were not paying the rent too, but as far as the law is concerned no I am not an attorney so I would like to get feedback on that too.What is it that you think is the best option to go about leasing office space in your personal experience?

I think my first deal will be a deal with healthy cashflow from day 1, easier to finance also.  

The best thing to do when you are starting out is to pair up with a mentor to help you get some skin in the game.

If put 10% skin in the game and give them an interest rate that will match their current passive rental income, with the agreement that I can refi in 1 year do you think anyone would be interested in this arrangement?

Also FYI -your tree looks healthy but taking dead trees and branches down is more expensive because you need to be more careful.

However, for an equity participation into the deal, especially one of a 50/50 split, there is no substitute for "skin in the game."

I'm teaching now, but I'm not a guru, but an educational site, no fluff, no puffing, and it's more of a break even than trying to skin any investor.
