Buying the Building

 * Very concerned by all the new construction surrounding Omni by developers and their insider relations with banks/funders. I feel we should continue to look at/invent other routes to finance purchasing the building (don't stop our traditional route we're currently taking though).
 * I'm doing research in the laws regarding crowdfunding based real estate purchases. If you have knowledge about this email me lifenowreborn@gmail.com
 * Sent an email to Stephaney asking for clarification on how long it will take her to figure out if she can get a grant for her services, and what would be a minimum number of hours she would need to get us started on our loan package. jazzhands
