Hi Julie( I had to laugh - my wife's best best Bessssst friend in the world is also a JMC and she is definitely not a BP poster, so it caught me off guard)Okay, we will be 100% membership based.

I do agree a allure type of product would be more friendly but it’s not a upscale look.

You'll get better cash flow and less tenant-friendly laws.

People with money are constantly being approached so it's a good idea to be subtle and friendly unless you have an actual deal that you are shopping around to find a partner for.

For an early-stage sponsor, the best audience is your inner circle of family and friends because they (hopefully) already trust you.

We both are from Ohio (Cincinnati & Dayton) and are fairly familiar with Columbus, but have close friends and family who live in the city that can provide location advice.

Specifically I am looking for a good, trustworthy, investor friendly general contractor from the area to work.

Rather than fighting with underwriting once in escrow and with earnest money possibly being on the line (or risking a refi falling through), I'd suggest having the friendly "fight" with your tax professional upfront in order to get as much as possible shoved into line 18 "depreciation."

Conversely a friend of mine can no longer count using either of his hands because of a stupid mistake he made with a table saw.If you're pretty handy, I say you're far better off building a base table for your mitre saw.
