I just hate to see all that energy put into such a low probability strategy.  

Economics of scale really shows if you do your due diligence.

Developing is also another option, with a scale of doing 20-25 projects at a time, I think you can easily get a bank to give you a shot.Construction is not where I want to spend a lot of time and energy on.

There are also several rural towns within about twenty miles so there is a decent amount of economic traffic from those towns. 

Banks are more likely to put their time and energy into an organized entity.

@Raymond B. is great at welcoming new folks to CT, but is cautious of reinvesting in the state due to the economic climate.  

With peer-to-peer, I worry about another economic downturn.

Love the energy here, hope to meet some creative geniuses!

But then when I realized it just needed to be factored into the deal economics, I was generally ok with it. 

The last thing I want to do is get in legal trouble or even make someone feel discriminated against due to their economic status since this is not in line with my beliefs or values.I'll be sure to read up on my local state landlord-tenant and section 8 statutes to make sure I'm well within the law at all times.
