Historic, 2 building, 20 units, how to acquire partners?

[Ralph E.]

I am deeply motivated to find people to network with, on this historic building, so it's a WIN - WIN. It's as if these beautiful, buildings are calling me to save.

I think the building is 20 units, 1 building is 8 units, The bigger building is 12 units. not including the basement level, gutted/demoed on inside, except for inner walls. new concrete surrounds building. It was originally built to be high-end apartments. It has a residential/commercial mixed use.

Please reply with thought on how to acquire this property.  What is your estimate on restoring a building this size? Can I find a Historic Grant to help with restoral/rehab cost?

Any Creative strategies you have used to acquire apartment buildings. Have you ever partnered with anyone on apartments? If I could just invoke the Power of (and inspiration from having met him) Rich Weese.
