The intangibles of how they are in person, is the critical component  and why IMO I'd never just go off what they are like on paper.

@Ally Mager what you are attempting is highly complex and the assumption of risk without the right team could be detrimental...the people in the room helping with this exchange should have the best connections to get you into the property you are looking for.If you have time, take a year to build your broker connections in the locations you want to be...find the top 1% of all commercial multifamily brokers and work on your relationship.The only place you're going to see your target asset listed is on Marcus and Millichap or maybe Loopnet...

It's so important to establish a good "tribe" of professionals (cooperative components) that you will use for each transaction.

That's the value of the business component of the sale.In larger companies (roughly $10M+) , there is a different method called EBITDA - earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.To that SDE value, we add the value of assets (vehicles, machinery, etc) and real estate, if any is to transact. 

Until you’ve blown up, the lending component of this business is going to be a challenge, and your ability to overcome that challenge is one of the few things that will separate you from the pack of mediocre, stagnant investors.

We would like to have a similar type of product; a low down payment loan with a construction component. 

"Flip" to buyer at price based on comparable comps in the proximity of the new buildTo me this could be done in a way where it could potentially be a double close if I am efficient enough.Is anyone familiar with this, and is there anything that I might not be thinking of that could be detrimental to this strategy? 

What happens once material costs (wood, components, etc.) and labor become more readily available is anyone's guess at what point that will happen.
