But on the upside it will transform how you see this business.

As I venture into transforming a historic school into a daycare and cultural hub, I've come to appreciate the crucial role of non-profits and endowments in driving both social change and economic growth.Behind every successful non-profit lies a strategic investment framework.

I'll keep you posted on the transformation.  

Erubiel Peralta and his partner worked very hard and transformed our yard from scraggly to gorgeous -- and for a reasonable price.Jeanne

The 'summers of my youth' were always severe water restrictions, dead grass & well water at our farm.The majority of homes, parks etc now have access to non-potable water that is specifically used for landscaping etc & the transformation is astounding.

For me problems transformed into profitability when I reflected on my first flip project and concluded that having an ill-fated plan and no protection agreements with my contractors.

You also need to check with the utility companies and get cost estimates from them for availability, fees, hookup charges, transformer and power line/power pole locations or relocation requirements, water, sewer,gas, cable etc You will need ball park cost estimates from site work contractors for site work, roads, installation of utility lines etcThis is just a high-level summary of some of the things you need to check out before you move forward with the contract.

2020 has been a transformative year for me, it all started off by reading Rich Dad, Poor Dad - cliche, I know - and inevitably found my way to Real Estate & BiggerPockets podcasts, forums, and books.So far this year I've completely paid off my debt/mistakes of my 20's ($25k+), built my credit score back up, and I'm now focussed on increasing my buying power through my own savings and OPM (other peoples money, commercial/private).As far as markets go, my immediate strategy is to eliminate my biggest expense (rent), by house hacking an SFH in either West Adams or Long Beach using a rent by the room strategy on a property where I can add value through renovations.My long-term strategy is geared around building a portfolio of cash-flowing rentals - and with that being the biggest challenge in my local market - I'll be looking to invest out of state. 

I'd love to hear ideas for how you've transformed existing real estate into something new with better use and higher value.

I got the "Miracle Morning for Real Estate Agents" on Audible, and love the premise of transforming your morning in order to transform your day.
