Hello everyone,I’m currently in the planning phase for a development project just outside of Santa Fe, NM.

.: I'm working on a project called Propradar which might be helpful.

Once I've completed these initial projects and built up some capital, my long-term goal is to transition into buy-and-hold investments in potentially more affordable markets to maximize cash flow and scale up.Right now, I'm particularly interested in investing locally here in the Seattle metro area.

The city wants to tear the property and surrounding properties down Zillow said it’s worth 38000The city offer me 13000.I could use some adviceHard to give advice with limited information, but as a general rule, the longer you wait and the further down the line their project is the more valuable your property will be to them.Zillow (and all automatic online) estimates are very unreliable, so don't base on that.

Contractors play such a huge role in real estate projects.

Quote from @Scott Scoville: Just finished one of our bigger projects.

Quote from @Andy Tack: Hi Lance, we are developing a project that is partially in a flood zone also.

I have a question and would really appreciate your input.I’ve done a couple of fix-and-flip projects in the past using hard money lenders, but I’ve noticed that their fees and interest rates significantly cut into my profits.

My husband did 90% of the work himself, only using contractors for large electrical, plumbing, and construction projects.

With your background as an electrician, contractor, and project manager, you have a unique advantage in real estate.
