Hi Mark, do you have any specific questions for the forum to answer? 

Specifically, the paint in the tub is flaking off and going down the drain.  

What was the outcome?

Any specific metrics or criteria that have consistently led to successful deals for you?

The cost includes your stay, all food, drinks.I know many women go with a specific goal in mind, but there is so much power in just BEING AROUND people who you can relate to, who are doing what you want to be doing, and who usually happen to have creative solutions to problems you've been stuck on & had no one to brainstorm on with!

(Any specific questions I should ask? 

I would suggest getting with a tax professional to assist you since there's a lot of variability depending on your specific situation not only on a federal level, but with state reporting as well.

What you could do is open up a new LLC for the refi where you and your JV partner (or your LLC & the JV partners LLC) have specific ownership percentages in the NEW entity. 

Some of the upgrades you mentioned (specifically the smart tech stuff) only help for new home buyers (window shoppers).

These strategies can help structure deals with minimal upfront capital.Before diving into any strategy, thoroughly research and educate yourself on the specific approach you choose.
