I'm now repeating the process, and plan to keep doing that for a few more years to get my portfolio off the ground.

Hello Kayla,The rate for a ground lease depends greatly on how dense an area you are in and the availability of alternative locations. $800-$1,200 per month would be a standard range based on my experience for a rural-moderately developed area. 7% annual escalation on the other hand is more than twice what I would have expected, are you sure it isn't per Term? 

I want to begin invest in january and I will be visiting next week to get familiar with the different areas.I would like someone with some construction back ground as i live here in nashville.Or if you want to just network.

I would also suggest applying for a permit for the existing part of the house, call it "Phase I" - "as if you were not doing the addition", that way you can start demolition right away.

The main meeting is the second Monday each month at the 50 forward center, near the fair grounds. 

many hhoes have asbestos Siding. removal can be somewhat costly because they must be disposed of in special dumpsters and the ground must be cleaned around the work area.

This has definitely helped.I had to make a conscious decision to work while I flipped houses initially until I really got my business off the ground.

I am mostly involved with wholesaling and I am looking to network with some local investors to help me get my business off the ground in this unfamiliar territory.

The Tenant Phase by Nancy NevilleTHE FIRST MONTH (THE HAPPY PHASE)During the first month of a rental period, the tenant is happy.

House movers typically move and reset houses 3-4' off the ground, and assuming your talking about 8-10' high this may be impractical.
