I asked for it from customer support on here and haven't received a response.

Shoot me an email and let’s set up a time to chat.

Hi my name is Leland, I'm a residential remodel contractor specializing in flips, I'm looking to meet and chat with local investors in my area.

PM if you want to chat more.

I love my sister and her family but no way would they be getting $400/month of my money to help support themselves, lol. 

@David MoreauStart by 1) educating yourself on the topic2) learning the local laws through the Healthcare ans Seniors agencies3) networking/finding existing operators in the space.Feel free to PM if you'd like to chat further. 

If your town has a lot of duplexes where you can find a bunch of comps to support the refinance, then going for the re-zoning might be your best best.

It's unlikely they will consider the overall cost when comparing to another property without, and, you're likely stuck being the tech support guy when it doesn't work.

That usually means a full electrical upgrade at about $8K +/-.Cedar post supports. 

That's just one example of how the technical aspects mesh with government aspects.Even marketing, being able to sell lots, is useful as is being able to get along with others and assess their abilities and motivate them to be part of your team either as employees, vendors, financial supporters, etc., all come into play.
