It might be hard to get a lender to borrow on a property like that unless you have a strong partner with a history of doing similar projects as the lead.I'm not sure which investors you have been speaking with that are not very excited to buy, but it likely relates to the strong real estate market and the fact that there are not as many deals around at this time. 

That being said, I am looking for individual investors or small businesses that would be willing to introduce their business to me and perhaps let me "tag along" on some of their current projects, negotiations, walk-throughs, etc.

I usually recommend that out of state investors do not take on large projects until they are confident with their teams, but I have plenty of CA clients who have purchased moderately distressed homes and put a $15k remodel in.

So what I thought at a macro-level wasn’t the reality at a micro-level.If you run the same exercise you’ll be able to project investment returns in you’re “A” vs.

This is why the DST, TIC or a stand alone NNN property of your own make sense combined with the 1031.And while you're absolutely right to look deep at the actual costs and fees both entering and exiting a DST or a TIC project you can find cost effective quality returns that will rival or beat the stock market average - especially if you factor in tax savings and ongoing depreciation.The age old question on pay the tax now or pay the tax later can best be put into perspective running numbers.

I grew up living in a "house hacking" family, meaning we would move house to house rehabbing and living in the construction zone, and last year I worked with my brother in law on a few rehab/flip projects he has.

Finished two projects so far, one rehab - currently listed and one subject-to - closing in two weeks. 2017 was our year to learn, 2018 will be filled with projects.

The vertical part can run around $150/sqft if you have strong relationships.To give you some other data points, I have three projects going at the moment. 

Those terms could materially change any cash-flow projections you have.
