Hi Lianne, did you close on the property ?  

basically if anyone has any tips when it comes to researching plots of land in order to make the right purchase i would greatly appreciate it get with a realtor. we underwrite land at no more than 10% of after built value. in our market we build under the average new build value which is about 515k. we like to be around 420-450k and smaller footprint about 1500 sq ft with attached garages. we build close to urban core where everyone wants to live and net migrations match up. but suburban is fine. if you give more context I can help but in most markets land is a buyers market. most people aren't looking at it or buying it. 

Supposedly, the CS program has you find folks looking to get their deals funded and as the CS "broker" you get to charge the buyer a % which gets paid at closing.

A client can close on a new property with us in less than 45 days so no long closing or pre construction risk anymore with our program.

@Nathan Harden- agree about OH ....I went to school at Miami U and lived in columbus area for a few yrs  ...many friends that still live there ......I live in Seattle proper ( near  Magnusson Park ...also  own  2  properties in Mason County ......father in law lives on  close to 10 acres close to downtwon Medina so we will be dealing with  figuring out the  best thing to do with this  as he gets  older ( he is  83 now) ...stay in touch

They have a bigger single family home and a tiny home on the property, but there close proximity and shared driveway present functional problems that are undesirable for guests. 

Appraisers are using MLS data and often it is lower than actual rents. 

Blue Gate Capital strung me along until very close to closing and almost cost me the deal.

@Brian Shurtleff, of course, is way off base - not even close.

Finally on 5/14/2021 (day 348) the refi was closed and funded.
