My biggest contribution was a direct mailing campaign where I targeted absentee and owners with 40% in their home.

No, I am pretty sure they have to distribute it to themselves and give it to you personally, and you contribute it to your LLC.

This is a development project, so be prepared to fork out meaningful amounts of $ upfront during the process of determining what (if anything) is possible.I would first look through the development standards for a typical R-1 Hillside site (min lot size, length, depth, street frontage etc) and if it looks like you can form a plan that would fit into those requirements and pencil out, then I would tie it up with an extended investigation period and get a surveyor, architect, and some phone calls/emails into city planning.

Adds a lot to the conversation and has put in a ton of work contributing to our fair BP.

So you pay for sidewalk (for example) fixes.Once it closes, think the seller's contribution/liability is limited to what he dedicated by leaving in escrow. 

Unless the $10k is going to sit in your escrow account and unless it can be used to offset unpaid rent, it would not be meaningful to me.

@David Feder you need to come up with a higher cash contribution or partner with someone who has these attributes - ideally someone who qualifies as an ‘acredditied investor.’

It has to be a situation where you all have something to contribute and know what you're getting yourselves into.

Proud to make my first post here, looking forward to future contributions of my own..

Vacancy, again a %.Here is the underlying assumption: the listing numbers are not that meaningful because they are not the financials and I will operate the building differently than it is currently being run and aim for a better return.Sounds like you need access to a better pipeline than MLS and loopnet?
