Many who want to scale  fail to take this into consideration,  take on too many projects at once, have no capital to advance the construction and ultimately get stuck in mud unable to advance any of their projects.

Thanks Definitely is tough now to find a good deal on MLS.

I am in Milwaukee, very hot rental market.Whenever you have an issue like this, think with an XLS and project dollars, for example:- 2 months lost rent: 2 x $2000- 5% lower purchase price: $15,000 

What makes it tough in the beginning is your rental income is not established so you need to be able to handle the debt not using rental income. 

A wholesaler in Pflugerville brought me a deal when their cash buyer fell through, and it ended up being a win-win.Digging Into Pre-Development Permits: Austin has a lot of new developments, and I’ve had success reaching out to property owners near upcoming projects.

My current 90 home project has split  zoning  half the lots are zone one thing the other half another but I do know what is what.

Those records not only helped with tax filing but also guided future projects by showing what provided the best ROI.

It also puts your agent and lender in a tough spot where it could be a perceived "fraud for profit" and they could lose their license and face time/penalties if they knowingly cooperate.

Quote from @Clint Miller: Anyone here in the community used construction loans to scale their development projects?

Also would love to know from other members how much they spent on the last project and what is a good contigency to put on the final cost for a first timer.
