In a nutshell, IL (where I live) too expensive of a market, but WI, MI, OH etc seems like you’d get more bang for your buck. also,  you can look at a City’s  consolidation plan and what their plans are for development to get a good forecasting of housing booms.

Tons of growth coming all over town with new developments constantly, plus the weather is great 9 months out of the year!

The city's macroeconomics is looking great - lots of population and job growth due to the booming tech scene and many companies choosing to move and develop here.

Thanks for the suggestion. to answer yours, I’m hoping to start with acquiring, then eventually development.

More like  2X to 5X the cash out.. these are done with builder developers on their deals So put out 300k get 300k back in profit plus the interest rate. most small builders/ developers need to have a equity partner so you just do both you lend the money and are the equity partner.. pretty clean..

If it is covered it's usually if caused by a covered loss meaning mold develops due to some other covered peril. 

Narrowing our focus on ideal clients has made us more efficient overall.

(FYI - this was an SB9 "two unit development, not an SB9 lot split). 

(They broke the story on Beattie Development and they've asked other clients to contact them with your issues/complaints.) 

I have a close associate with a large project there and the local banks have turned off the spick-et on funding his developments and these are very large multi thousand acre deals.
