The other great thing about those areas is that labor costs run high and regulatory climates are severe, bottlenecking development of new apartments and giving a unique value proposition to single families for rental conversion.

I look forward to many connections and conversations through this journey and hope to become a great source for others as well!

I did not see any cost included for those items (where I provide snow plowing it costs me around $500/season, I cut my own lawns but paying someone would probably cost at least another $50/month during the lawn mowing season).5.

Thanks for the reply @Aaron Osgood.She isn't picking finishes although I have been running some items by her for her opinion since she's involved in that market. 

Pretty interesting to cast doubt over my reputation/character when (A) you don’t know me and (B) unlike everyone else, your assessment of the conversation went in a direction that nobody else was going towards.

So you will need to permit and construct these items on your end.

I would love someone to see if they can have a conversation with him and let him know that I'd like to give him an offer.

I see your point about working for this investor as a way to learn and potentially have conversations about acquiring his properties later.

This could be a costly hidden item should it come up.
