Happy to connect with you and suggest some folks to reach out to Miami. 

I love hearing stories like this about folks redeveloping depressed neighborhoods in big cities.

If those earnings didn't stay the same or increase, that could leave the lenders with folks that go bankrupt trying to pay for a property they can't make perform like you did.

Ya man, folks out in Cali are wild and have a lot of miss placed rage.

A lot of folks that buy at a distance are struggling right now.  

I know of some folks in KC and Memphis doing new builds like this, but they are doing it within a much larger and long-term project that includes upwards of 300-500 units built over the course of 5-10 years.Assuming you're looking in Columbia, do you have a "B+/C" neighborhood in mind?

I have clients doing 1 a quarter thats about the slowest to others that will go on a mini tear and I will help them buy 5 or 6 over a 45 day period then they go to work.But generally my busy folks will do 15 to 30 plus a year..

I won't double or triple-down on what folks have said above.

This is very uncommon, though I see folks posting about HELOANs for investment property.  

It may be too late.yup stop payment.. also for future reference if you cant pay cash for these kind of educational events don't do it.how are you going to do business if you have to charge this to even get started.. this is the very thing that really bugs me about the real estate education sector in the US>. talking people to go into credit card debt when they know full well only 10% or less of folks that try this or any kind of wholesaling / flipping/ notes / lending etc will do anything .. and especially if you have no capital.
