Want to buy a building but don’t know where to start? Technical assistance is available to help potential residents through building purchasing and renovation processes. Reviewing procedures for loan applications, identifying additional funding sources, determining appropriate business development assistance, and offering design and renovation advice are just some of PAAI’s expert services. Several Artist Homeowner Workshops are held each year, workshops that teach artists the step-by-step process of purchasing and renovating a vacant building. Each Workshop brings together PAAI staff, business development professionals, bankers, architects and artists to offer their intimate knowledge of the renovation process. Contact the PAAI for the date of the next Artist Homeowner Workshop.
