That neighborhood is buzzing with potential-young professionals, trendy developments, and a rental market that’s always in demand.

To my understanding, there is an area the the villages is putting its name on that is not 55+ but I am not sure when this will get developed.

There are certain parts of Scranton that I have been advised not to touch since they are definitely still developing. 

Funny enough, after making a few calls to my network in Scottsdale, plus tapping into a couple of connections I’d developed through some late-night investor meetups, we found a buyer quicker than he could polish off his morning espresso.

If it's above 700 or 720, I wouldn't worry about it too much (though credit scores are dynamic and change over time, especially with RE developers).

I know some mentioned about developing banking relationships and I totally agree with that, so here is what you do. 1) Open a business checking account in the name of your LLC to hold the assets. 2) Deposit your cash into that account to fund the real estate purchases3) After owning for 60-90 days, talk with a local lender about a line of credit against the 2 properties at 60% LTV. 4) After about 30-45 days, have the line open to use if you need that liquidity that you used, but until then you are not paying 7% interest on nothing. 

There's been a few Houston developers on Biggerpockets podcast episodes.One that comes to mind is Donovan Adesoro.
