This "Face-To-Face" knowledge and interaction becomes important, if any "sticky" issues develop during the transaction. 

I'm developing a multi-family community from scratch, and hired a local civil engineer firm for site work (grading, erosion control, drainage plan, etc.) design.

I still work full-time as a pharmacist and have developed a good rapport with my colleagues and physicians and constantly talk about what I do in multifamily real estate.

It's the Army's future development HQ.

I need to develop my knowledge base, learn how to evaluate deals and make quality offers.

I just stumbled upon a company that has developed a sales funnel system and they seem to have a good product for lead generation and conversions. 

I think that the population growth of the city means that there are more renters looking for a place to live near center city every single day (quicker than houses are being built/ rehabbed and put up for rent).

Unless it was found as a typical expense and included in the lease development stage , unfortunately, the owner would probably have to incur that expense upfront and slowly be paid back when new leases were made through higher rent and was able to be incurred as new language in the new lease and understood by the new tenant about who is responsible (at least partially) for that or any other possible capital expense.With regards to the problem stated about using the landlord's panel, you might gain some additional wattage is by possibly downsizing some of your breakers. 

I also like personal development books as I believe personal development is just as important as learning the nuts and bolts of investing.

Eager to hear more about how things develop for you!
