I have some YouTube videos that may help with some of your questions and always happy to have a call to dive a little deeper. 1. which development(s) tends to be the best for ROI/have the best occupancy rates? 

If it is someone you know you can give them a straight return as if its a loan - can provide a lower interest rate to provide upside - it really depends on the lender and what are they concerned with and what is their risk profile. 

In my experience, the local banks are going to get you better rates and lower fees with their commercial loan products than the "DSCR lenders".

Please update us with what rates you end up getting quoted.

We typically buy and hold but it would depend on the numbers for this project, we'd be open to either BRRR or fix and flip so there's a few possibilities.

As rates have gone up we tightened my sold comps.

Congratulations, you get to share your partners tax burden and pay the depreciation recapture at ordinary income rates. 

I am looking at 1031 possibly or just fixed refi/or use my heloc for the time being on a value add for a building 10-40 units (market dependent on price). 

Quote from @Dinesh Nair: I am a Canadian investor with a US corporate entity- we closed on our first property and now working to find financing through a lender… however rates keep changing all the time.. is there a site to track rates ? 

I wouldn't touch your current loan unless rates drop 1-2%.
