1. coaching- all of the "coaches" were newbies themselves with about 1 year of experience and about 1 deal under their belts and they always disappear after 2-3 months and get replaced with new "coaches".2. networking- they have a FB group, populated primarily by other newbies. go there to answer questions, and it's likely you'll get other newbies saying "good question". there are lots of newbies hoping to get into a deal, but who wants to put together a team where every single person is brand new with no experience?

@Nicholas L.What Nicholas said.I would also develop a list of buyers and what their buy boxes are.    

It is important to look for locations with strong economic growth, rising demand for housing, employment, vacation and infrastructure developments, as well as properties that offer the potential for value appreciation or steady cash flow.

There are drops in other areas including big cities and rural areas and areas that are losing population. 

I would probably refi into a DSCR loan.Aside from a relatively inexperienced builder and the risk of a development that isn't "established" yet, what am I missing?

🌎 Hi, I am based in San Diego, CA.💫 We work with rental property
investors and I’m always trying to learn more so we can educate our clients.❓Any insight you could give would be great!

But do note that there are many of these "resort-developments" in the area.

@Jordan Sachs This is 100% a state law issue... developed through court cases over time.

I see that you're a developer so if you were to build apartments instead, you might want to look at data specifically for apartments instead of lumping in houses/townhomes.

Relationships often lead to off-market deals and valuable partnerships.Consider targeting up-and-coming neighborhoods or distressed properties in areas seeing new development or infrastructure improvements.If you’re exploring commercial, maybe start with small multifamily units (like duplexes or fourplexes) before diving into larger complexes.I’d love to connect and possibly collaborate.
