Lots of service sectors folks; a helicopter pilot and web designer;  a mechanic, etc..

I want to sell it for $1,75 mil with a contingency that I would design and build a house on the property to suit the purchaser.

Currently my portfolio contains a grand total of zero properties, but am looking forward to getting the ball rolling.

Using an FHA loan you'd only news $7k down and a few grand in closing costs.

A bit of perspective, the calculators are designed to evaluate properties.

I'm new to the financial side of development, but have a grip on design and the construction management.

Hello,I am looking to purchase my first owner occupied rental property in the downtown Grand Rapids area.I would like some opinions from other Grand Rapids natives.The property I am looking at is located just south of Wealthy st.You can view the property here http://www.trulia.com/property/3199391082-845-Logan-St-SE-Grand-Rapids-MI-49506What do you think about this location?

You're a talented designer. 

Plus you get to see how someone else would execute budget/design/repairs/etc even if it isn't entirely "reality". 

I have seen some grand slams hit by flippers in high end homes, or more accurately above average homes in high end markets, but it is not for the timid.
