I will say that is all in my opinion to CMA   its about 100 acres, long and rectangular, perfect for installing a road on one side and slicing in to 10-20-30 acre ranchetts .

You can eat the entire pizza right away or one slice every hour.

The guest is going to pay the market rate no matter how you slice it. 

What's not unheard of is there to be a KP or strategic capital partner in the GP that provides a balance sheet as well as capital for an EMD in exchange for a slice of the GP and or a fee. 

Have them slice for you.

It will make them want to do the same for you... including opening doors for deals you won't otherwise see.In general, I'd say keep your base source of income until you can trade your time for more money doing your own deals (in whatever slice of REI you choose). 

My first venture into real estate social media was on the Aussie version of BP.. and man you talk about some sad cases.. they just did not know what they know.. and it was their fellow country men in league with bad actors on the ground .. they just wanted their 5 to 10k slice per deal..  

I just hope I can slice my little corner while staying proactive in the community and helping as best I can.

You will have a higher rate on an investment property no matter how you slice it.Local to me, there are regional banks with NOO HELOCs that stomp all the national guys.

How you want to slice it can vary from deal to deal.
