it's a volume game. 

Plus you still have to actually underwrite the entire deal (purchase, construction, carry, etc to develop accurate CF/profit).

This caused a lot of developers to leave the city and has caused headaches for landlords.

I did this with about 4 developments in PDX market and that was 2005.

What kind of funding can I acquire to develop this property?

The rent-to-price ratios here make cash flow realistic, and there’s a lot of revitalization happening that adds appreciation potential.Detroit’s population is officially growing again, and there’s strong rental demand, especially in neighborhoods seeing more development.

Philadelphia has implemented various forms legislation over the years between abatements, land banks and density bonuses geared towards promoting development in areas that suffered from disinvestment and housing affordability challenges with some legislation having been more effective than others. 

As your base level of knowledge grows, you will start to develop a clearer picture on the things you want to do, and where you skill sets lie, which can narrow down who you may want for partner.  

I want to scale, but not sure how to develop my strategy.I have a $200k HELOC and excellent credit worthiness and high income from my day job.
