I reached a major milestone this past week. 

I think it's key to hold brokers accountable via certain milestones. 

Hi Kyle, Congrats on closing on your first rental property, that's a big milestone!

In order to access the money, the developer will have to prove that the project is fully funded, present invoices from his suppliers and/or provide evidence of construction milestones being reached.

We'd live there for 1 to 2 years while saving on not paying rent and building equity.After that, my first milestone would be $10k in cash flow per month within 5 years. 

You can also have to scale higher as he performs better or do a certain dollar amount after a milestone is reached.
