I live in the Seattle area, but I work with a team on the ground that helps me locate deals, project manage rehab and provides property management.

When it comes to hands-on work, we partner clients up with teams on the ground that have helped us successfully flip hundreds of homes, and understand the overall strategy and execution of these micro-flips.

In light of current high rate environment, if you were an investor/developer, and you were about to start a 30 unit residential/commercial mixed use property (ground level a few shops, rental apartments upstairs), what percent of rate return are you expecting for your initial capital? 

Having a strong boots on the ground team in the area can help bring good deals to the table, filter deals better, determine viability quickly (which in a market as competitive as this is very necessary), and ultimately get the right deals done.

I understand your need for boots on the ground.

If you're not familiar with social media marketing or SEO, you'll need to hire a specialist who can get you off the ground and running.

I am in the process of creating 2 generic templates for the purpose of “having back of the napkin, Underwriting early in deals”. 1 will be ground up Development and 1 will be redeveloping existing buildings.

Outside of figuring out some other creative financing we think it will be about 6 months and we should be ready to hit the ground running.

Without a crew on the ground, relying on recommendations from people you don't know is always risky. 

You have to be hands on and on the ground to be successful with D Class stuff.That said, are you certain you aren't mixing these up?
