That money goes into escrow, and gets released in draws throughout the project after your 203k hud consultant comes in to make inspections.

Once you are ready to proceed, have a lawyer draw up the papers for you (not an agent). 

Any specific ideas that drew you to an event or that you used to help draw a crowd of investors, I’d love to hear it.Thank you!

I would be sure you understand their draw process: costs, requirements, timelines on draws.  

That will change over time because it's becoming such a huge draw for everyone.

During a duplex renovation, do I need to get an individual invoice for every draw from my contractor for tax proof purposes or as long as I have proof I sent the money and a signed contract with due dates, does that suffice?

I understand that I'll need to submit a detailed plan and drawings to the city in order to get either approved.

Can you help me draw a line in the sand between the 2 statements and how they both could be achieved?

And like everyone else has mentioned, definitely speak to your RE attorney and have them draw up the right paper work. 

@Jake Greener find a mature-drive to-vacation market with favorable regulations and an outdoor draw (lake, ocean, dessert, mountains) and buy a property.
