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. 

It seems like the perfect place, BiggerPockets, for finding people who are like-minded, asking them questions, and learning how to become a future investor.I believe that no matter how unforgiving the market may seem, the right tools, knowledge, and preparation can help minimize risk and create opportunities.

I'd love to find some other people who are currently invested with Fairway America and - ideally - in this exact investment.Thanks,Matt BrownFairway has put out a ton of deals in a variety of real estate asset classes and strategies.

I'd like to find honest people who are not going to rip me off.

Maybe if a few more people ask for it, they'll post the link. 

I love the program, as it helps many people who can't afford housing.

It’s worth considering the trade-offs between the stability of income and the increased oversight and hoops you'll have to jump through.

Thanks, Victor.I have met the people in person, and it's a fairly large, established lender operating in multiple states. 

See the chart from Fair Isaac Company (FICO) below: FICO Score Pct of Population Default Probability 800 or more 13.00% 1.00% 750-799 27.00% 1.00% 700-749 18.00% 4.40% 650-699 15.00% 8.90% 600-649 12.00% 15.80% 550-599 8.00% 22.50% 500-549 5.00% 28.40% Less than 499 2.00% 41.00% Source: Fair Isaac CompanyAccording to this chart, investors should use corresponding vacancy+tenant-nonperformance factors of approximately 5% for Class A rentals, 10% for Class B and 20% for Class C.To address Class C payment challenges, many industry "experts" are now selling programs to newbie investors about how Section 8 tenants are the cure.

So it ends up being not nearly as much CE as people think.
