Quote from @Adam Ortiz: Hey everyone,My biggest dream is to own my own property, and start developing some cash flow.

You could also look into regional banks or credit unions with experience in real estate development for middle-ground options.If I were you, I’d spend some time shopping around for the best rate/terms.

Network with local investors, undertake extensive due diligence, and develop a clear exit strategy.

This development, spanning nearly 6 square miles, promises to create thousands of jobs, generate economic activity, and transform the local economy.

If you're investing in real estate, ask yourself can you hold this a minimum of 8 years, ideally 12, optimally north of 20?

It’s a business oriented mentorship but the man I was paired with was well versed in all aspects of real estate investing and development.

Network with experienced investors, choose a real estate strategy, research markets with job and population growth, learn financing options, familiarize yourself with property management, develop a long-term plan, and leverage your stock experience to evaluate markets and trends.Good luck!

Finally, The rent control discourages further development, limiting supply which results in higher rents.So rents go up, but the rent control advocates are too uneducated on the economics of the rent control policy to see their role in the rent increase.Another consequence of rent control is no value in keeping the property as nice.

I have a few lots in New Orleans and am looking to run  profitability analysis of sfr 3/2 development v. one zoned as duplex.  

Ideally want to break even or cash flow with the 3 tenants.
