I follow Codie very closely and used her free resources as well as Build not Buy by Walker Hayes for each step of our business purchase.

It might help that you live right above in same building.

There are no other occupied units in this building.

The problems began when the definition of squatting was extended to include occupying buildings, not just vacant land.

Our primary interests are in long-term rentals (single and multifamily), flips, short-term rentals, flex spaces, and storage units.Looking forward to connecting and building meaningful connections!

I’m diving into real estate investing to build long-term wealth and secure financial freedom.

Hello Jonathan, I did not pay attention to local meetup, but I will attend going forward to build network. 

I don't think that's doable unless its a bare bones metal building which the city may not allow and which would also not command $15 rent. 

I have a few single family homes and would like to start building new ones from scratch.

It also depends on how much equity you are putting into the building from the start.
