If you scroll to Leland Barrow's post he seems to have personal experience making this work within the VA Loan framework.

Podcasts (BP Money if you're trying to improve your financial literacy), Books, and Mentors you find by networking.I'd pick up a copy of Rich Dad, Poor Dad and Set for Life by Scott Trench as each has a good framework for financial independence, especially for a newer investor.

I say had because smartthings recently changed the underlying framework their software runs on, and that broke the 3rd party app that RBOYs provided.  

If you are simply partnering with a money partner, and the money partner is an active participant, you have less restrictive regulatory framework.  

I got 2 estimates (in NY) for a 1000 sq ft. 2nd floor. 1 place I checked did modular extensions which are basically pre-built, fully finished units thats they just plop on top of your existing framework.

Trying to framework a partnership deal with a land developer where he already sub divided the land and I am coming in to build and sale single family residences.Two possible partnership scenario I can think of:1.

All things are NOT equal in real estate, so thinking within radius framework is not applicable.

Sometimes less.  1100SQFT - 2500SQFT Complete renovation down to studs and replace everything up to code - New mechanicals, frame work, exterior work, insulation and drywall then all your finishes 8-12 weeks.  

I think where I was going with the question was closer to "What is a good framework to follow when presenting." vs trying to use someone else's presentation.

I intend to do most of the renovation work myself, other than the heavy stuff (foundation/framework/electrical/plumbing).
