But most homes in this area are going for $180 - $220 (outdated designs / not remodeled).

@Ralph Plumley what type of features are you looking for?  

Many inspiration gurus and success authors like to talk about "lifestyle design" these days.

Quickbooks,quickbooks,quickbooks.... but skip all of the fancy features and use it like a check book.  

I went to Carnegie Mellon in Pittsburgh for school - my undergrad education is in Architecture so I have all the tools at my disposal to design value-add spaces and as a bonus I'm pretty good at coloring in between the lines.

It appears according to the US Census there is something in the range of 175 separate designated areas in South Florida so I actually think Miami is likely the best example for this problem. 

I am a design engineer in Wisconsin, and thought I could incorporate this into the portfolio marketing.

If you do delayed financing which by design only allows you to borrow 80% or less (and up to what you paid in cash), then do you have to pay anything up front (like the up to 20% down that you would on a typical mortgage)?

Luxury Retreats has no designations but their requirements to list are stringent.

The GSEs ( government sponsored entities) like Freddie Mac and Fanny May were designed to help individuals not businesses.
