Trust me, I've toyed with the idea.Vacant land where it makes sense to build large MFH stock might make sense, but chances are this isn't the land we're talking about here.The reality is most vacant land in Detroit is being repurposed for parks, the Joe Luis Greenway, solar farms, neighborhood gardens, etc.Beyond that, let's say you plan to hold long enough for SFH prices to get high enough where it does make sense to build.

Hi Hoa,- Hard money is fast efficient, expensive, it has high rates and points and shorter term 6-12 months or less typically with extensions available- HELOC typically has no points but prime + 2-3% margin right now is almost the same rate as hard money and closing costs are a lot less than hard money and you can rinse and repeat and reuse it after paying it off so yeah overall its better than HML (hard money lending)Thats just the beginning of your research, the reality is in real life you might need both sources, make sure to have both ready and start with the best execution or option first and always be ready to use the others if the need arises.rehabbing is messy AF especially on older housing Illinois housing stock from 1895-1940's.
