This is not specific to any individual or any specific real estate investment, or specific company offering investmentsMost people who invest in passive investments do far too LITTLE research on the investment itself and on the “sponsor”; furthermore most do not understand the investment and many have absolutely no idea exactly what they invested in.  

Some of my clients in this scenario literally just pick-up the phone, tell the seller of their specific property they are interested and they are well qualified, and see if there is some kind of fit. 

And my #1 issue is I don't see any actions to address this in a meaningful, market specific manner. 

.: As a new investor starting to look at wholesalers, what would be pertinent questions to ask about a specific deal? 

This is a touchy subject.If you observed specific concerning behaviors during interactions, such as rudeness, aggression, or disrespect for property, these could potentially be valid reasons for rejection if documented properly.You should add one very important things to do on your checklist, past landlord references and it must be legit and find out why they aren't there any longer.

Call the zoning department again, and this time ask specific questions: Is a variance required, or can you proceed as-is?

Instead:401(k) loans: They’re low-interest, and you’re paying yourself back.Roth rollovers If you can afford the taxes now, this gives future flexibility.Creative financing: I’ve seen clients leverage partnerships or seller financing to limit retirement fund withdrawals.One thing to consider: real estate markets today are vastly different from a decade ago.. so opportunities may require extra creativity.Have you looked into specific deals yet?

The Detailed Engineering Cost Approach is generally used for newly constructed commercial buildings.DETAILED ENGINEERING COST ESTIMATE APPROACHThis approach is very similar to the Detailed Engineering Cost Approach, with the difference being that if there aren’t records for specific costs, an estimated cost is used rather than the actual cost.
