I am tripping up on how to project the cost of expenses since the tenants will pay for a majority of the expenses. 

I don't work and am not licensed in New Jersey and obviously haven't reviewed the documents, and am not an attorney but will give you a basic opinion based on how this is handled.

I have seen so many people buy buy buy and they haven't even completed their first project because they get so excited when the see a deal.I would recommend using homeadvisor.com to find a contractor.

If you want to work on this project with us or have a referral who can please reach out to me.

You'll want to create a pro-forma (cash flow projection) for both the multifamily section and commercial section separately, then combine them in a summary pro-forma. 

I would start with local banks that should be more motivated to loan on revitalization projects in your area.

I am in the beginning stages of just trying to use the resources here to figure out what neighborhoods make sense in the most basic of terms.

I suggest you are projecting your own emotions, not suitable for a serious discussion regarding money. ;-)Why did B.C. institute a tax specifically on out of country investors?

I'm talking about the most basic stuff.

You are getting ripped off BAD.I've done complex projects on multifamily for half that price.
