That's why the industry is closely watching, in particular, how it'll impact the housing market this fall.”I know the act of waiting to make an investment can be frowned upon but acting strategically can never be a bad thing.

Rather than looking outside your geographic market, look outside your strategic market.Feel free to reach out anytime if you have questions or just want to chat more about the Atlanta market!

Hey BP fam, I'm a rookie and I formulated a list of experienced investors in my local area I'm going to connect with throughout the next few months.The point of this is to gain knowledge about the industry, my market, and learn some good pointers in general. 

So i am considering starting out by buying vacant land in strategic locations around southern Cali and holding on until i can flip it for a profit.

What I need to do is to strategize holistically so that I can make the money work along the way and hopefully hold onto all the units when I'm done.

I have couple of projects I am in need of advice in the best scenario to get the best results in financing.

project #1 purchase price of $360k with $47k down payment
Hard Money
$320k at 12% and 1 Point a month...

And from there, you strategize or negotiate on what's favorable in terms, down payment etc. 2) 3-4% interest through seller finance is often times more safe/profitable for the seller as opposed to them taking their already 30%+ taxed lump sum of cash from selling their property and stashing it elsewhere to grow only on a fraction of the original amount. 

Then re-fi (talk to your lender to see how that would look for you) and keep as much cash as possible.That being said, strategically how much to put down is another issue. 

Remember, this is lenders' slow season, so they will have time to answer your questions and help you formulate a plan.

Be a little strategic with your approach.
