A friend in lending told me I'd get better pricing if I have private lender do a $630K loan, record a deed of trust, before I close and then get a conventional loan after to refi the existing debt.

Send the existing tenant a letter, with a copy of the deed and ask them to reach out so you can renew their lease, or move on.5.

Additionally, you could explore leveraging equity from your existing properties if possible.

Councilmember John Nolte mentioned that in rent-controlled cities in other LA County cities, that hardship petitions from housing providers was non-existent.

And often buying them as an existing boarding house is best. 

Quote from @Eric Harper: It already exists under BUILD YOUR TEAM at the top of your screen.

Hello Kyle,There are lots of things to consider, and there are lots of different types of Zoning for residential.For example you could be zoned residential, but the minimum lot size could be 1 acre, and you are buying 1 acre, in that case you wouldn't need a developer, you would just need a builder.For example, lets say you have 5 acres and a perfect rectangle property, that has an existing street that runs the long ways of the property so you won't have to put in any streets, you will simply need to get with a surveyor, figure out your minimum lot widths from zoning, and file with the municipality to get your property subdivided into lots.Once you have subdivided lots, you can either sell the lots outright to a builder, the cleanest transaction.Option 2, you could try to partner with a builder so you can split the profits, most builder's will want you to guarantee the loan, and still charge a build fee before profit splits.Option3, you can hire the builder, obtain the financing, and keep all the profits.Option 4, you could do any combination of 1,2, and 3. 

Unlike cities like Phoenix or Las Vegas, where there is ample undeveloped land, Worcester's development must work within existing constraints.Currently, some of my clients are effectively participating in Build to Rent by default.

Many people believe this won't happen, but it's a risk that exists.

I think we know it exists, but without any type of advertising, im not sure how many "regular" people know it exists and to use it.
