Do you know what specific technique you would want to utilize?

@Sasidhara ManthenaCongratulations on getting started and even mores so developing a specific strategy.

In the long run, I aim to become a broker and delve into development, but for now, baby steps :PHappy to be here, to learn, and connect with the community!

I heard we can buy from developers or builders directly.Not sure whom to contact.Appreciate if you can share some insights on how to proceed, whom to contact ,where to look for ?

I wish I would have started with that technique...and tremendous tool to build wealth with.   

What are some down hill battles with this technique and is it even a thing?

We have had a crack in the stucco patched up in 2016, then major exterior work done in 2019 to our house (and our whole development due improperly installed windows, no drainage, rotting wood/stucco damage - builder fortunately paid after getting lawyers involved).

We took that money out in a HELOC to complete our first flip, to a development, to 9 unit buy and hold and now have grown to 25 units in the matter of a few years.

I’m in commercial construction, and new construction has it’s risks, especially if you’re acting as the developer in the deal.

This is double-effective, because it helps you build your network of lenders, handy people, contractors, title partners, private lenders, etc who...if the proper relationship can be developed will show you what the MLS can't.
