I am also seeing Home Equity Agreements coming into fashion, but I do not have any details on this.

But to be fair Texas is usually far behind the fashion trends.

@Scott Parker   well you can do it the old fashion way.. my e mail is in my tag line at the bottom of the posts.. send me an e mail if you like..

I am also looking to build/develop the property in a build to rent fashion.

My advise is to start with single family or a small multi-family ground up project first but this market environment is truthfully not the time to be completing any ground up projects unless you are self performing the construction which it doesn't appear you are in a position to do.There was a recent Philadelphia  forum chain started by someone else who was contemplating ground up in a similar fashion to what you are proposing and I cautioned they would be better off buying something that was newly built and believe after conducting their own diligence realized it was too cost prohibitive at this time to build with 3rd party GC's in Philadelphia when also accounting for the interest rate environment and cost to build.

If we could choose the ideal software, it would have 90% funcitionality from a mobile app in some limited fashion.

BULLYING is never OK, not in any shape, form, or fashion.  

 But to be fair, besides people not being happy with those kinds of houses anymore, builders couldn't build them and make any money due to high costs of planning, permitting, sewer and water hook ups, electric hook ups, etc.Well, we do have this Tiny House fad right now, but can someone explain to me how these are any better than an old fashioned trailer?  

If you specifically like the thought of a line of credit then you are going to have to do it the old fashioned way and apply at banks and see what they offer you.

That may very well be the case in a practical sense as a judge may just toss the case if the judge sees the mortgage is being paid on a timely fashion.
