Keep in mind we are a "Mega PM", big staff big unit count, so it's a lot different then the Ma & Pa, but the principles can apply.

Based on what my attorney provided, the plots aren't worth a ton of money, but since I haven't done a land deal I'm not sure if the actual sale price differs from what she got me.

Simple things like a branded email at your domain and a website can open a lot of doors. 

It's very on-brand for the city to have an error on their end when starting the process, though.

A little over 15 years ago, in the late spring of 2009, I was a brand spanking new real estate agent coming off of a miserably failed real estate investment venture.

For this reason, it would be prudent to not overleverage yourself in this type of environment in order to wait and see where rates do end up falling, as there is consensus in the market we are moving into a falling rate environment, the exact timing of when rates will be falling is unknown and different scenario analysis should be added to underwriting refinance periods to be sure the project is sustainable if inflation resurges and a refinance is delayed.

I assume a higher upfront cost as far as land purchase and the actual build but you would have a brand new house, instant equity and hopefully maintenance free for quite a while.

Commercial financing is 100% different (and easier lol)! 

You will also need different levels of staffing to support the various strategies as you are already realizing.
