Also local Balt investors tend to have some investing rules of thumbs when deciding if a property on a certain street is questionable or not, doesn't matter your exit strategy ie) fip or rental.There are definitely development opportunities in blighted areas, that LOCAL investors are doing, by taking advantage of the various Balt city programs that are promoting development.

(a) It is unlawful for a person or entity other than the transferor to engage in, promise to engage in, arrange, offer, promote, solicit, assist with, or carry out a foreclosure rescue transaction for financial gain or with the expectation of financial gain, unless prior to or at the time of transfer, the transferee pays the transferor at least fifty percent (50%) of the fair market value of the property as determined by a licensed appraiser.

The formula that gets promoted alot is estimating 2-3 pct for buyng costs correct? 

I enjoy people who are enthusiastic about the products and services they're promoting.

Write a series of expert reviews on a blog or in a nicely-done "catalogue" you leave in the home - you are brewer yourself and can promote yourself as an expert - and maybe leave clean, empty growlers in the cupboard to save your guests a few bucks if they wanted to stock up on the good stuff.

I haven’t seen it done yet but I think changing impact fees to be per square feet instead of per unit would be a way to promote smaller (hence cheaper) units.

But I know I will invest in a syndication and this would be my criteria, along with some other questions once they have met my standards with what I mentioned above.preferably, you'd like to see that the sponsors have been through the last downturnit's easier to have good returns in an upswingthe longer the track record of the promoter, the bettermostly, you need to see that their numbers are conservative and make sensesome of them even do a sensitivity analysis, but at least they should have a best-middle-worst case scenario described

In Manhattan, it would equate to around $20M in sales, 10X the sales volume you're promoting, just to be able to get to work at the 100% level less the transaction fee. 

@Andrey yevery syndication I have looked at, the sponsor says they are putting in "at least $xxxxx" in the promotional materialsit is not rude to ask, if the sponsor gets offended, that should be an indication to you where his interest lies...

Some years ago a man passed away from lung cancer due to radon and his family has been very active in promoting radon inspections.
