As part of a new web site that we just launched, www.GetPreconstructionDeals.com, I get repeated requests asking if a particular deal is good or not. While we can’t answer this for individual projects, we can certainly look at what HAS to get done by the investor to dramatically increase the odds of a successful transaction. Step 1 is always to determine the fair market value(FMV). As a real estate investor, you can always buy properties at the FMV. My question is why would anybody want to do.
