Sell before completion, sell retail, sell owner finance, refi and rent, etc.

I hunted for 9 months How did you finance this deal?

How did you finance this deal?

I finally got ahold of the city today and they said the permitting timeline can be as fast as 3 weeks to 3 months, and is up to the owner's application and readiness. 

This deal leveraged strategic financing, value-add renovations, and market knowledge to deliver a strong return.

I primarily work as a part-time CFO for new (and "old") real estate developers and investors, primarily helping them financial analyze their deals and finding them the best rates and terms for financing.

If the seller counters that I’m being unrealistic, I politely tell him I’ve purchased, financed or invested in over 650 properties.  

I'm particularly interested in what tactics people have implemented for sourcing quality deals (not the I need 100% financing bs)Would you:1.

Sure, all channels can work, even seller financing or foreclosures, but in my experience, a well-connected agent can uncover hidden gems that often outperform the trickier avenues.Since the post is still fresh, I’m curious.. do you foresee other potential add ons that might elevate the returns even further, like corporate housing partnerships or short-term seasonal leases?

Just make sure the town is ok with the land being zoned for multi-units, and look into construction costs, financing options, and permits ahead of time.
