I am currently working on bringing to life a houseboat community in New York.  

When we found this deal the community had around 45 homes in it, now we are close to 60 total homes and looking to bring that number up to around 80.

The Importance of a Great Real Estate Agent: A Personal Paradigm ShiftI got my real estate license a while back, and I always heard people talk about the importance of "bringing value" as an agent or broker.

Question is, is the person you are dealing with a correspondent broker who brings them deals to fund or someone from their company.

That's all you bring to the game.

He is looking at a group of investors like myself to bring 25% of the project value and then procure a bank loan for the remaining 75%.

I wouldn't be opposed to having a little skin in the game (closing costs, inspections, etc) I would be living there paying market rent and doing the improvements myself.

The property was in a great market but needed full cosmetic rehab and a basement finish to add an additional bedroom which in return would bring up resale value.

Renting it as a standard unit might bring in $2,500/month.

Process is simple. 1. purchase contract2. send contract to title company3. bring cash to closing and you're done
