If your intent is to keep this a two unit I would separate the utilities it will likely save you money and aggravation in the future.

I have toyed around with the idea of buying raw/vacant land, and running the site planning thru my firm, then selling that shovel ready land for a profit.

Attorneys dont really like working based off of someone's work but they were able to salvage it and save some billable hours there.

I was wondering if i could get some testimonies and insight from people on the BiggerPockets platform to help me figure out if it is a good idea or not.

I'm sure we'd be happy to chat with you around a few ideas and resources. 

If no, you are wasting a lot of effort and I will tell you why.The more shady the marketing, the more you need to push your credibility scorre up.If you have a nmber 1 ranking website and a ton of reviews and you are all over facebook with thousands of lieks and comments and myou give to charity and people talk about you and Google suggests you when people seach for keywords... sure you have enough credibility.But put a bandit sign out and people have no idea who or what you are  they need to have a way to find you on their own when they try to do a bit of research about you.So now you spend all this effort cold calling and what not, and when you DO finally score and the person is somewhat interested or at least curious, and you can not provide a website with your mission statement, an about us, and info about you, guess what will happen.

That is a lovely idea and intuitvely makes sense.

I’m about to list my remaining property.The thesis of m my investments there has been the idea that Yale and the other universities in New Haven have a vested interest in making sure New Haven is OK (or, ideally, nice), meaning that they will invest money in the community and expand their footprint to do so.

We have no idea if this is a good deal or not.
