Hi BP Community,Does anyone know how a large scale condo conversion project finds financing for the end buyer?

They will likely already know who is in the area, who wants to be in the area, and what other projects are in the works and further along than yours which may remove potential tenants from the conversation.

I would add to network with contractors and ask if one of them will let you walk a project with them.

My ultimate goal is to have my appraisals come in at or above the contract price I have on my property.

Then I'd say it depends on your goals and whats interesting to you.

If your only goal is just to find more deals, then Loopnet serves the same function but for free.

There are a few things you need to look at and take into account.Everyone's financial situation, risk of appetite and goals are different.

Is there a software out there that you use or recommend to enter all of the expenses into that will help with totaling all the expenses accurately into proper categories for year end tax stuff or by each project?   

Taking on a big renovation project for your first out of state deal can be especially challenging if you're managing contractors that you've never worked with before.

This essentially means that, during renovations, he has the opportunity to bring himself all the way up to 50/50 partners with me, or close to it.What does not sit right is that I have created this whole opportunity and would like to feel compensated by retaining significant value in the project rather than opening the doors for losing 50% of my investment when I am certainly able to do it on my own.
