My desire is to create profit by commercial units or owning multifamily units in order to provide housing as well as generational wealth.

Even if I was the senior lender for one of the new developments, in a downside scenario I wouldn't know what to do with the land / the half-finished or finished (but unsale-able for whatever reason) inventory.Therefore - I don't want to invest / make a loan in the development JV itself - I would rather make a loan at the parent-co level where there is collateral in the form of completed properties that are generating rental cash flow - they do have mortgages on them. 

I wouldn't really look at these as an outright investment, but more of a retirement spot that you can try to generate some revenue from in the mean time.

We have to manually log the issue/damage, then enter each bill once we've done the work, then we have to track whether the tenants reimbursed us or not, then we have to pull together the water bills from another expense tracking sheet, and then re-organize everything per property or per tenant to be able to generate a summary report (which we are required to provide to tenants).

After that, you'll need to start repaying both principal and interest, which could also affect your cash flow.However, the flexibility of a HELOC can be beneficial, especially if you plan to make strategic investments that generate higher returns in the short term.

Deal Generation: What strategies have you found most effective for generating deals and identifying promising investment opportunities?

Hello,I am currently located in the Denver, Colorado area, looking to start doing some fix and flips to generate some extra income and eventually transition to a full time real estate investor. 

It's amazing to see the next generation take an interest in building wealth and understanding the power of smart investments from such a young age.

I understand that a rental listing will not generate as much as a sale would, but I think a minimal standard should exist (especially since I plan to buy properties in the future).

To make sure the land/property generates some kind of income until then, we've tossed around land leasing for cattle or a glamping site.Advice needed:1.
