I have a few lots in New Orleans and am looking to run  profitability analysis of sfr 3/2 development v. one zoned as duplex.  

As for the experience suggestion, thank you for your bluntness JHL, we all need that reality check, but I also have 42 years (bought my first property at 16 years old) and 5 generations of real estate investment behind me and am always looking for new developments in this dynamic business.

Gatlinburg/Sevierville/Pigeon Forge was highly bid up due to realtors pitching inflated revenue projections. 

Network with local investors, undertake extensive due diligence, and develop a clear exit strategy.

It’s a business oriented mentorship but the man I was paired with was well versed in all aspects of real estate investing and development.

This reduces exit options and affects the value. 10) Small number of small units is the most expensive residential development there is.

I have bought a couple of units and now working on my own development.

Has anyone had any luck on structuring a deal with seller financing to obtain the land, then use a lender for the horizontal development infrastructure.

Many newcomers spend their first few years working under a sponsoring broker, and during that period, the broker often earns a significant portion of the revenue.
