This is exactly the type of public/private partnership our team is working to build across the country.

If the property is in the flood zone but the building is in a lesser Zone it goes by the zone of the building.  

I just need to learn how to build a team. 

So we basically try to build a golden cage for them, door is open after the 1 year lease, but they don't want to leave.. 

I've heard my colleagues mention wholesaling as a good way to build up capital fast, and I'm curious what you all have to say about it, any tips, advice, admonishments?

You've come to the right place to connect with others and gain valuable insights. 

It's been gutted to the studs inside, has a new roof, and has a pool (needs work plus a possible expansion), with room for new commercial buildings to replace the ones that were demolished or for an expansion of the motel with either more rooms or a few condos for short-term rental.I'm considering selling a single-family home that I own outright in another state (Lake Havasu City, AZ) to finance this deal. 

Not a way to get property fast, but certainly something to consider for building our portfolio.

@Mel Gardner Hi Mel, Transitioning your home into a rental property can be a smart move for building passive income!

It is a catch 22 about building a team - you can't really do it for real without having a property.
