We are starting a spec home build project this fall and my objective is to make it feel light and bright. 3/2 1260 sq ft.

In the case of students, some of the things we offer: arrangements a discount (13%) with a self-storage provider while they are waiting to move into one of our properties or, when they are moving out;discount on end-of-lease cleaning services (using our cleaning service ... the same folks we would have come clean the property after they move out w/o cleaning thoroughly) or on having the cleaning service come regularly;A complimentary introductory session with a local pilates studio;an organic pizza from a local CSA business during exam period;One of the best received "perks" is our "Take Me Home" card  which enables tenants to have a taxi bring them home -  whether they are at the library studying late or out on the town with all their money spent.  

Now I realize asking active BP members might not be the most objective pole, I should also ask the ones who have given up because they lost money, but this is what we got. 

I currently rent to a supportive housing agency in NYC, and I am also interested in increasing the inventory of supportive housing.I recently connected with the Supportive Housing Network of NY - http://shnny.org/This organization is a great source for information and contacts about supportive housing funding and development in NY.

I have mentioned it elsewhere on the site, but at this point, inside Seattle city-limits, you are required to have objectives other than positive cash-flow to get the returns you are looking for.

But, as soon as I can, I'll respond to this discussion with the financials.In the meantime, I’ve finally gotten around to organizing the 100s of photos I have.

And we are to be "Agents, not Objects"

Flipping PropertiesIf the primary objective of your real estate business, or one of your real estate businesses, is to buy, potentially fix up an existing property and resell it within one year, the Internal Revenue Service can consider that to be an active trade or business.

You're objective is to look for a "deal".  

As for Victoria I think the next meet up is may 17th  its at the best western by home depot a lot of great people and the organizer always has great presenters.
