It's simply overwhelmingly nuts. 

We purchased 133.7 acres January 20th of 2024, we then proceeded to subdivide 4 building lots, ( two 10 acre lots,  and two 2 acre lots)  which included costs associated with septic testing,  survey & subdivision, and property maintenence required to market the building lots.

You said public water was available...would the lots require a septic system to be installed or is public sewer available? 

B2B Bank had just introduced liquidity requirements which seemed to indicate they really did not want to be providing that service.TD was the last of the Big Five to offer the ability to write and hold arm's length mortgages.

To intentionally reduce the leverage more than required is a foreign concept to me especially in the San Diego market.  

Some, like ours, focus on offering optional services such as renters insurance or washer/dryer rentals without requiring tenants to opt into a full package.When choosing a property manager, I recommend asking about the structure and purpose of any fees.

@Venka Pulla It’s frustrating when a property manager isn’t meeting expectations, but transitioning to a new property manager is typically straightforward if you follow a few steps:Review the Management Agreement: Carefully read your current Property Management Agreement (PMA) to understand the termination process, including any required notice period.

A vacation rental could generate higher returns but requires more active management.

However I would say those lenders would be more willing than a bank to write the mortgage, and after completion you can refinance it.Overall, its probably easier and better use of your time to just find another house that doesn't require the construction and where the numbers make sense.
