I had to develop tenacity and perseverance when starting my business back in the mid 1990's. 

U have to find developments that are purpose built for investors..

#universitycity is an amazing area located in #charlotte with ample developments, entertainment, dining, and other things to do!

We’d love to collaborate further and share more ideas as you develop your vision.

Some things have shortcuts, but developing relationships isn't one of them.

I’m currently evaluating whether to go with a Fund Model instead of a traditional JV for an upcoming multifamily project, I will be working as a developer looking to do work with a more experienced developer on a larger scale multi-family opportunity.

Contractors, unless you have a working relationship with them, normally do not want you bouncing ideas off them.Understand what their hourly rate is, have a discussion with them that you are okay with paying them an hourly rate if they walk the property with you and provide you a scope of work along with an explanation of what you can/can't get away with in regards to improvements.ask them if you go with them, if they can credit you the amount that you paid.Once you develop a working relationship with a few contractors, you can bounce ideas off them and expect quality responses.I do not invest in New York.Best of luck. 

However, you have to invest in specific communities where they are encouraging development.

It's worth taking the time to understand what you're doing so you can develop your own conviction and confidence.

When I purchased my property, I had read all the exciting developments in the works...indoor waterpark, shops, new hotels, restaurants, etc., but was severely disappointed when I went recently with my family.
