Hello

My name is Toni and I joined the forum two days ago. I’m from New York City. I’m really excited about finding the forum it’s what I have been looking for since I have acquired an interest in developing and the acquisition of loft buildings. I have to admit that after reading through some of the section on the forum there are a lot more things that I will want to learn about and become a part of.

I have some real estate knowledge in the area of commercial and residential so I not a total novice. But I am by no means any particular type of expert and I look forward to learning more especially about my current interest which I am not very knowledgeable in and that I intend to implement in the future.

I posted a question two days ago in the Development Section. I look forward to any input the forum community can give me. Thank you in advance. I did go about becoming a member with the cart before the horse so to speak but I have corrected that. I have updated my profile and I’m introducing myself. I send my apologies for being so excited I forgot good manners.

I’m really excited about the forum and the opportunities it present. I hope I will be able to pay it forward over time.

Toni

    Hello

    Your question prompted me to really think about why I am interested in Loft and Loft development and what I intend to do with that interest.

    Actually I have an interest in development in general. But my special interest in Loft development came because of my desire for a loft apartment. Being a little knowledgeable about real estate prompted me to expand on the idea of how to get one (real estate in New York is expensive) in a creative manner and having some knowledge about creative financing also prompted a larger goal (instead of an apartment how about a loft building with apartments for rent or sale). I would then have income plus a wonderful place to live. (smile)

    Now that idea has expanded even further, I now want to be involved in Development focusing on Loft type or Manufacturing Building that can be redesigned for residential use with a twist. I would like to incorporate some of the past with the new in the materials used and the design. A lot of buildings are torn down destroying the old world craftsmanship in the interior. Using some of this salvaged material incorporated with new building material and systems is my goal for the future.

    I’m in the learning stage with the development. So the forum is a great please to read and learn and possibly make contact with other as I go. I already know what my Development team needs to be composed of for my vision.

    Hanging out here I may wind up with an even bigger vision and access to the people to help make it possible. (I love that idea)

    Sincerely

    Toni

    P.S. If anyone is of a mind, I’m available for online mentoring or phone mentoring if you’re outside of New York City and you’re a developer or knowledgeable in that area, New York City developer are also welcome. I love to learn. (Smile)
