The moratorium states that not only can you not evict, but can not serve notice of evictions or lease terminations UNLESS it meets the high bar qualification for illegal activity at property as listed in state statute (basically they must be caught for running ti as a crack house) or tenants are putting other tenants in immediate danger of harm (think domestic issues case, and have to have proof such as police reports) or significant damage to property (state attorney general put this bar so high that it's things like concrete down drains or stripping home, over the top extreme things). 

Again, find a real estate investor you can serve.

EG Boston, New York, San Francisco, Chicago, DC, Seattle, Austin, etc etc prices are higher than small towns far from major metropolitan areas and generally prices downtown are more expensive than the suburbs in this period of history.Do you think, over the next few decades that the internet will ever serve to bring down those big city real estate prices relative to less expensive areas.

Do you have the track record and expertise to design in favorable equity splits for yourself by virtue of aggregating investors or would you be better-served by just forming a JV for a project?

It could also be done as Ann mentioned as a seller financed deal, but the owner will need to provide the subordination agreement with clear title.At settlement, the lot sale is filed first from the owner to the contractor and then title from the contractor to the homebuyer providing a good chain of title and the bank lien is cleared.A subordination can also be made to the contractor if no funding is needed and that serves as collateral for the build.

J Scott , how did you come by the appraiser that is serving as your adviser?

-EdFORGOT - first come first served------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------6.29.12 Updatebased on flawed info from the insurance adjuster about how the city will release funds, the city now has informed me that they will only release funds when the home is demolished or 100% repaired after all inspections.AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Not quite the same rentals as what you are focusing on, but you could learn about renting to military as well as preparing for orders.Thanks for serving.

It may not be a perfect rule of thumb, but "up front fee means its a scam" will serve you well.
