I negotiated this property by trading my owned property for this one, as it was a brand new property in an area being developed.

I do commercial development in Florida, focusing on St.

If you're sticking to all-cash, passive investments, you’re right that flippers and small developers often look for cash investors to fund deals without traditional financing.

I'm a licensed contractor based in Morocco with over 20 years of experience in construction and real estate development.

The property was acquired with the long-term vision of capitalizing on the nearby development of a casino, expected to attract workers and residents.

But I think you may be asking, should you do the rezoning, or leave it to the ultimate developer. 

I mean Joe Montana is a very successful Developer same with Steve Young.. and Ronnie Lott has done well in RE also.but I bought a big mansion that was 3/4 done from an NBA star and he was not business savvy at all.. and on top of that had about 7 or 8 baby moma's all with child support judgements against him ..

Increase supply (or at least encourage development), and the prices will eventually come down (as we've seen in other large cities like Austin where the demand boom was followed by a supply boom - and now both sale prices and rents have gone down). 

I am also a recent rent redi user, I dont hate it, but at BPCON24 , i met with hemline and their software looked really good to me.I set up a call with them this week so use their demo, and their AI for the maintenance was very helpful.I don't mind rent redi though, I met many people at the conference, stessa was a one pf the populer ones.

My suggestion would be to look at turn-key rental property options in a developing area with low entry costs.
