Do you have the cash to complete the project?  

Would you be willing to go into further detail as to how you fund your projects?

Basically, a homeowner would not pay his mortgage, the bank would reclaim the house from him, then the county(the trustee) would sell the house to someone for cash and pay the bank most of the money. 

@David DiazLike Christopher mentioned, there may be issues with the particular condo projects you've been trying to buy in.  

This may not be feasible without more specifics on my taxes but perhaps a rough formula on how I could figure it out.My basic thought process with the math would be the following:For every extra $1.50 I make above $100k (but below $150k); I lose $0.75 I can write off.So here is where my knowledge really breaks down (if it hasn't already unbeknownst to me).So for every $0.75 I lose the ability to write off as a passive loss; will this cost me $0.75 or will it cost me $0.75 times my marginal tax bracket of 28%, which would be $0.75 x 0.28 = $0.21And if it cost me $0.21 per $0.75 and therefore $0.41 per $1.5, that would basically bring my OT down from 1.5x base pay to roughly 1.1x base pay?

I'm basically just asking what to expect as far as how much can I ball bark a build out per sq ft of a single unit.

I am in Palm Harbor and I use a maintenance company   for ongoing maintenance, and they do roofs, all rehab projects, I have been with them since 2013 when we did a full rehab in Dunedin. 

A basic list of just absentee owners will give you a pretty wide range of owners. 

Even having enough money to fund the entire project myself or pay back investors out of pocket if the project lasted longer than projected wasn't enough to convince them. 

It was hard to see the lump sum money go since it could have been used for another project.
