@Jeanette Land I work with clients in 11 markets across TX, OK, MO, TN, AR, and AL finding them turnkey properties for their portfolios.

well you have your own answer there are no lenders for entitlements  there are JV partners like me for entitlements but its not at traditional lending rates of course as its all risk capital.WI funded 3 entitlement deals in 2024 in Loudan  county VA to the tune of 7 figures in cash. since my client does not own it its unsecured ..

Some people are growth-minded, which means they are willing to help for a low cost, or not much compensation knowing that the more conversations they have will lead to more clients.

Hey John,I work with several different property managers, which I refer to for my clients (I'm an investor friendly agent over here).

The smart ones house hack and buy rentals, but the good ones know that their clients come first.

I have had a couple of clients just get the loan approved with the long term rates and then the bank really doesn't care how they get it rented out after.

Is it worth bringing in my contractor first to see how difficult it would be or should I call the gas and water companies first?

That is subjective though - I just advise my exchange clients to understand that number and understand their exposure.

While your exact cost will depend on your market, I have a GC client in Columbus OH that is building triplexes at just under $200/SF.

It’s also important to be as specific as possible in the scope of work for each line item—clear details can save you from misunderstandings or unexpected costs later on.I specialize in consulting services for situations just like this, helping clients work confidently with contractors by bridging the knowledge gap.
