Generally conventional financing is not an issue, but we have encountered a couple of situations where the retail mortgage group at a bank had a hard time wrapping their head around the holding company being a "person" under the law.

If your house is of this construction, there is no practical way to inject/blow insulation into the wall cavity and you are left with the choice of either gutting back to the studs on the inside or removing the exterior cladding and applying housewrap and rigid insulation on the outside.If you do go the interior route, be prepared to encounter hand-sawn timber with substantial variance in dimensions - meaning you will need to shim and plane, or strap, to create a plumb wall for hanging sheet rock {putting back lath-n-plaster would be cost prohibitive and, in our case (a rental), non-compliant with current fire code}.Old buildings can be rejuvenated and made much more efficient, just factor in an additional 10-15% in your reno budget to address any discoveries.

I have yet to close a package deal, all of my deals have been individual deals.

Joseph S.One alternative might be to sell all 3 units together as a package to an investor.

I'm realizing what a treasure trove this site is--the best community I've encountered in my online travels. :-)Feel free to reach out as you dig into your own research.

I analyze financials for their development deals and help put equity and debt packages together.I don't know what your educational background is or what all development companies look for, but I can tell you that for the company I work for a real estate analyst (or asset management analyst, or development analyst) needs to have a degree in some kind of business capacity; whether it real estate, finance, economics (my degree), or general business.
