@Jordan Sachs This is 100% a state law issue... developed through court cases over time.

Now we're seeing incredible population and job growth and major companies moving and developing here like Intel and Amazon - great macroeconomics and strong rental demand.

I think that a new partner a very large real estate development co. that the company now has a relationship wanted it there where his company is also .We have very different definitions of a Hard Money Loan. 

@Henry Clark is an expert on Storage development maybe he could give some pointers.

I am learning about Fix and Flip strategies (I've only done developments).I want to grow my income from Real Estate while working on developments (ie waiting for zoning, permits and building)What have become your go to finishes for fix and flips to maximize value?

There is strong economic development because it is the state capital which drives demand for housing.

With no RE background and a full time job I was still able to create the right entity I needed, develop a powerful tax strategy, found a partner to invest with, and about to close on a rehab where we will both make $25k+.

You will need a licensed TX attorney to oversee the legal documents, you need escrow officers and transaction managers and business development/marketing.

A mentor to partner and begin developing with him.I haven't seen any good coaching program around here.

Plus you still have to actually underwrite the entire deal (purchase, construction, carry, etc to develop accurate CF/profit).
