I was actually thinking of going the same route as you—offering a higher return to seed investors to get the deal off the ground.

I also have significant equity in my home, which I believe gives me a HELOC option for acquiring my first property to BRRRR or flip once I feel educated enough to  do so.The BP podcast has already taught me so much, and I'm gratefully here hoping to learn, share, and apply all you amazing people have to teach. 

Let me know if any of your clients have questions in regards to construction financing for fix and flip as well as ground up construction ! 

At that rate the investments cashflow nicely.One big concern in this model that some investors are still being talked into funding ground up construction.  

I’ve been boots on the ground in Dayton for about 8 years now.

We act as your 'boots on the ground" for every deal we work on.  

Or we take that equity and use some of it for private lending at 15% or so which is even better (although I am not sure how to get that business off the ground just yet). 

I think one angle to consider is instead of learning how to manage, learn how to own and then adapt that to become a co-host.Something like owners work/hire you to pick up slack in regards to being a "on the ground" person to handle problems.

I'd be happy to walk through your analysis a bit more and provide some on the ground insight on your findings.

This would probably help since the next one I build I could immediately put for sale and do a short term rental while it sells.I have many years of construction experience and have also done a fix and flip, in addition to building ground up construction, as well as 10 years of entrepreneurial experience running a paddle board rental company... i have a BS in Physics from Georgia Tech , a PhD in Theoretical Chemistry from UT Austin, and did Postdoctoral research using Computational Engineering where I designed, manufactured, and tested a shock mitigating metamaterial...
