Hello, I recently graduated with a degree in Finance and Real Estate which gave me a lot of experience as far as understanding the numbers, finance, and business side of real estate but I do not have much "hands on" experience as far as fixing appliances, home ownership (I've rented up until now), etc. 

E.g. my background is in finance and my partners have backgrounds in marketing and engineering.

Leasing rooftops or securing roof licenses can be a very complex endeavor.

Deal overview;Purchase price = $350k. 4,000 sqft, 5/4 that had an in-law suite above the garage, complete with a tar-pit (I mean pool, but you couldn’t tell the difference), hurricane damaged roof with inside water damage, two kitchens that needed appliances/updating, 2,300 ft of flooring needed replaced, $45k in city fines that we had to navigate (settled on $1,500 in fines, title company assured me that would be the case, but I was still apprehensive, glad we listened) and lots of granite, paint & fixtures!

I've been in LA for the past 7 years (UCLA & work) and my background is in finance.

Some people come from money, some people had a previous career in finance and know lots of investors, some people are really handy and save a killing on fixing things. 

I hate to be negative but how many billions in fines do banks have to pay for ripping off their "partners" before those partners should start thinking negatively about them?

Their analysts are usually MBAs in finance who graduated at top of their class and have been trained to use and understand the most sophisticated financial modeling theories and techniques.The winning bidder pays for and gets ownership of these 1,000 NPNs.

This is a very well to do area, you must have connections in finance realm that might be able to get creative with the numbers, or personal connections that would be willing to ease the burden for you over the short term and get a cut of your profits on future flips where you stay within your profitable sweet spot.Your other set of possibilities are legal, and that is really something you need a good PA real estate attorney to pour over your loan docs to see what your options are. https://www.foxrothschild.com/gregory-j-kleiber/

Are there special financing sources that could make it worthwhile to set aside some of the residential units for low income housing or put solar on the rooftops or . . . ?
