Go visit the planning and zoning department in person.

Out of state Investors who have appetite for the NY area market and surrounding should reach out. 

I have a property which has a whole house fan.

That POP moved north into Shelby Park and then north again into Smoketown where houses that were recently 100K now sell for $200K+ and that story isn't done yet.

For example, a bank may cut or eliminate your HELOC if the housing market drops and you no longer have as much equity.  

A benefit to having the commercial property and entity is that we aim to utilize business credit, so that our personal credit and debt to income ratio is not tanked as we remodel or redesign or buy furniture. 

I am looking to do the exact same thing except I plan to house hack it and live in the property. 

Looking forward to connect with like-minded investors and RE professionals online or in person.

We flip about 50 houses a year and are looking to do more flips and wholesaling.

@Tom ThomsonI am not an attorney but my 2 cents is he does not have to return your earnest money in my opinion if he can still meet the closing date on the propertyI view it as you are terminating the agreement because you don’t like the house anymore
