Biggest issue is that the things an office building is missing (kitchens/bathrooms) are the most expensive to add.Have you considered a more communal living type approach?

I hate to resort to this type of question but I have read and read and read and read and then Ive read some more on the subject and in fact am still reading on LLC & CORP with their different tax designations.

It seems that, in both these cases, the systems are designed around locating properties and finding investors, using third-party resources.

Maybe approach them and see if they are willing to carry the financing till the end of the rehab and till you hit a set occupancy number, then refi out and pay them off.

The approach would be to purchase the lot using hard money, move the house, rehab/repair and sell.

I've been approached by dozens of people who want the opportunity to get in front of our attendees so they can make money marketing this kind of stuff to them, and I've turned them down because that is exactly what this thing is not about.I actually had conversations with several potential speakers whose first question to me is "what am I going to get out of it?"

There are architectural design wikis, seems it would work with realty synonymously.

I was high bidder at the Court House and an investor approached after the bidding and offered me 5K cash to assign the contract.

I've found a site that does pretty great work, but the bottom line is that I'd love some cool designs before we go and create some gear.Anyone have the art skills to help with some cool designs?

I'd sure get a smooth, sensitive approach down pat, get on these too early and you're a vulture waiting for the dirt to dry, too late you can miss the deal.
