Do you develop relationships first or do you put in the work on bring the deal first?

Build to rent (BTR) is being performed by various developers in various markets.  

But like I said, I'm starting to see a lot of development in the worst neighborhoods in Baltimore, so either there's a lot of LIHTC funding to be had or something... 

I may have the following wrong, but this will give you a guide to talk with someone locally you can develop a relationship with. 1.  

I initially negotiated the terms of the deal through a Letter of Intent and then developed and executed a Purchase Agreement.

I can share my experiences on the financing side of investing, along with some of the experiences of my clients that are developers.

Purchase price: $8,000 Cash invested: $2,000 I purchased 2.5 acres of Raw Land in Joshua Tree, less than ten minute drive from the park and downtown area in 2018.Purchased via seller financing.2k down with monthly installments to pay out rest.Current similar lots are selling for around $65kI plan to hold long term Would eventually love to develop something on the land-either an art park or residence.

I am in Florida doing commercial development but looking to expand. 

This investment aligns with my strategy to develop high-quality rental properties in thriving neighborhoods, where both rental income and property values are steadily rising.
