My thoughts are the rules would be similar to regular real estate investments: location location location find the better schools close to public transportation.

I've been doing some research on how it works but have found that I've reached the barrier of public knowledge.Are there any specialists out here that might be able to explain how private offerings work, how these funds work, and how to approach the presentation on the subject matter.Thank you in advance,

The area has become rougher because of large apartment complex with public housing residents.

One thing we did was paid for a Spokeo account which shows public records for people living at that address. 

However, the sponsor NDA prohibits us from discussing details publicly.

Location: San Francisco Bay Area (Daly City, CA)Type: SFRFeatures: Short walk to public transportation, < 15 minutes driving to anywhere in San Francisco, 1 mile to state universityPurchase year: 2014Added Value: Remodel $150 - $200k (Construction to add 2 legal bedrooms, bathroom, approx 600sqft living space, backyard hardscape, upstairs complete redesign, new kitchen, bathroom, electrical, plumbing, sewer lateral, water main)Length of time for construction: 11 months (and going)Mortgage: $917k (from initial $575k investment)Goal: Short-term rental home in zones while living here when vacant.Issue: Neighbors unanimously reported a building code violation, resulting in a complete halt to construction and rental / booking process.

Side quick, where did you find this deal, if you are willing to share publicly or privately? 

But you could try asking the public housing authority in the same town as your house, if they have any recommendations.

My own review of public records showed that the property has at least 43K of back taxes and charges from the city, maybe more, but the lot is probably worth about 150-200K.  

Are there any public funds earmarked for the area. 5.
