My objective is to buy about an acre of land, that is already leveled, access is being done, and utilities are going to be 5 feet from the property; and then build 3-4 shell retail spots on my plot, owner occupy one of them with a business and lease out the others.I am meeting with a developer this weekend, but have some wrong numbers regarding the average cost of building a shell space. 

As your banks have made very clear.Getting a second job would be financially more productive and less work than wholesaling. 

I think what attracts builders to the larger resale companies of which there are at least 10 that do what RTR does is these companies Will focus on their product they wont show your product and then sell something else..

It was basically the perfect storm that lowered occupancy and in consequence average daily rates.

The mortgage foreclosures require the state to acquire three appraisals of the property, the opening bid on the auction will be 70% of the average assessment as the opening bid.  

The finished product and getting the rewards from the fruit of the labor is way down the line.

For anything less than that with a traditional bank or credit union, you'd likely be looking at a portfolio product (the bank/CU will hold your loan and not sell it on the secondary market). 

Connect with a few players who know your submarkets like the back of their hand, and suddenly you’re not the lone wolf trying to move product.
