Quote from @Scott Scoville: Just finished one of our bigger projects.

Starting with a smaller property or a few fix-and-flip projects can help you build equity, gain credibility with lenders, and better understand the process before scaling up.Securing funding for larger projects can be challenging without prior experience, but options like hard money loans might be worth exploring.

If you are in the Seattle market the better, even better in the burien market, but all are absolutely welcome because no matter where the project is, a house is a house. looking forward to hearing from all of you!

Forcing appreciation on properties requiring work is a longer term goal but I’d like to start with a simpler project.  

I think one of my projects will get some local spotlights but wondering what the criteria for is getting OMG category.

I would not use our money for the next project.

Real revenue has not lived up to projections.

If you start a JV in name but do not give your partners proper control and decision-making rights and the deal goes bad you open yourself up to serious consequences which can lead to SEC violations with extremely high fines.Lastly, you can offer the project up to investors who have no voting or control.  

I politely informed them that their bookkeeping records and the law state otherwise.

@Ryan Cousins it's really going to depend on YOUR analysis/projections of what you think the property will be worth in the future.You'll want to compare that to any capital gains tax-savings if you sell now.
