The returns that investors require is generally based on their perceived risk of the project and the investment period.With my CFO clients who do real estate development, most LPs in the small-scale residential space (SFR & 2-4 MF) are investing for 3-5 years and are looking for a preferred return of 8% with an IRR of 16%-18% for turn-key and 18%-24% for value add.

We are both nurse and plan to travel for a good portion of this time, so 'living' in the small 1br or studio apartment for residence purposes will not be a major issue for us since we will rarely be there.

Even developing a mobile home park, affordable townhomes or self storage.

Has anyone transitioned from a construction manager role with a large company to developing real estate on their own.What has that experience been like?

But are you saying to find a local bank branch and physically go in and develop a personal relationship with a banker? 

Begin with the end in mind and work backward to develop a roadmap for achieving your goals.

For a number of years the majority of my time has been devoted to investing and developing.
