These are rather extremes.Eventually blocks like these will be torn down by the City's decree so that a private developer can build something of value.

And using the safe and guarranteed words, big no-nos.

Not sure it would be a popular enough topic, but construction/development would interest me.Or maybe, single family vs multifamily, commercial.

Go to a Sherwin-Williams dealer and ask for a vinyl-safe color chart.

Maybe not today, but if sold for a nickel on the dollar to a collection company,,it will be a nightmare.Signing off as Jon was suggesting in his post, is safe and removes her from liability.

Alas, I don't think I'll do that again, with SAFE laws now in effect.

If I could find a private investor to loan at a low cost I would do it, I just haven't developed those kinds of relationships yet.I could get money to put roughly 40% down but I'm not sure if that would help.

For anyone to answer, With all that has been said, would it be safe to say that having an LLC in general, would be a good or bad idea for someone just starting out?

You are relatively close to your investments and have developed a great relationship with your contractor.

Is there no middle ground, ie safe, blue collar neighborhoods?
