I mainly service people I already have in the pipeline.

Mainly I say this because the thing with multi-use is you really need to evaluate each one completely differently and combine the two to see what the property is really worth.But let me also say a few things about daycare specifically.

My wife and I own a multi unit building in Chicago and are in need of building maintenance for the roof and siding.The main issue is our building is close to the neighbor’s house.

As i have my main house and the wife would sell me before she let me rent it😩

I haven't looked in the Berkshires / Pittsfield, MA in the past, but that's not to say that I wouldn't in the future. 

The main reason why homeowners opt not to pull a permit is because building improvement will increase property taxes.

The actual changes are in the high-end SFR market, especially 3 million dollar houses flattening in price, mainly in Silicon Valley and Seattle-that is all I have actually seen.

(Something I HATE doing)The main issue we had on this transaction was that I did not know that the city was a " block to block" city.This just means that it's a lot tougher to value properties because one street could be extremely nice and then you can go down the road and be in a war zone.After we got all of the mess sorted out, we ended up getting a price reduction and we are going to move the deal forward.Here are my top three mistakes.1.

NJ is a very tough place to loan money from the lender side of things.. foreclosure time lines are for ever.so I don't think your being realistic on what you expect.. but I know Patch of land has done a ton of NJ loans. you can go direct.you need more than 20% cash into the deal.. in most instances in a state that is so tough to work in.credit while important is not the main driver in HML.
