The organization consists of over 700 agents with relationship building being the bedrock of our company. 

I gain occupancy at the end of the month, and looking to begin on some of these projects then.I am a newborn when it comes to the real estate world, but I am trying to retain all the knowledge possible to become successful in this space - building a team, what type of real estate to enter, loan buying options and experience, location location location, you name it.

I can send you a list of contacts in Ohio to help you build your team, property manager.

I believe you meant to a ready to build lot.

I hope to actively manage my first few properties as I build my portfolio.

It is a great way to build a retirement and risks can be reduced. 

Can I get 80% from the lender, 15% from the seller, and put down 5% myself to buy the building?

I am an agent and trying to find an off market buyer for a large commercial/apartment building for my broker.

That way I could likely get the work done for less and hopefully build a long term partnership with someone that is looking to get their foot in the design world.

It sounds like you've made great progress in building your real estate portfolio, especially with the support of your grandfather.
