Do you use a specific accounting software to see how your numbers compare to reality over time?

On paper it looks very sexy, but in reality it's much different.IMO - I recommend to my out of State/Country clients to stick with post 1945 built homes that rent for $700 -up.These can be purchased, rent ready & with fresh rehab, for under $60k.Of course, the higher up you go in purchase price, the better the home.  

One other strategy, might be hard to get, but a letter of support by your city fathers, representative, zoning board, official types for the proposed project, the Kroger guy can help with that, Freddie won't be bucking this transaction if you need to give title for them to proceed in zoning, IMO, just a little political flavor to the reality of your circumstances, that shows you will likely be moving anyway.

Looking forward till that day when those goals are a reality.

In reality if I need to do a major replacement on a property and don't have enough in the cap ex fund yet I will either rob the Peter Property (another house's cap ex fund) for Paul's salary to pay for it anyway but I try to keep separate virtual accounts and books for each place.

It's just the reality of sub2 transactions.Next, I have a hard time seeing where this sounds like an attempt at circumventing real estate licensing requirements (probably because I know all of the details and you don't, as I didn't disclose them).

Or how to get followers or people interested in helping me, guiding me, asking questions of mine, just help make this dream of mine reality.

Already, I feel that being in the architectural field has sheltered me somewhat to the broader reality of development.

You never own a property with an option nor do you have any property rights.You also don't arbitrarily add a fee, your sale price plus the assignment fee of the option will, in reality, need to be at or below market value, below saying leaving room for any investor buyer to profit, if applicable.

I hope that becomes a reality for you as well, God willing!
