This leaves friends/relatives wanting to help you out (emotional based investing) or people unsophisticated and naive (likely disciples of a currently heavily promoted guru).When I, or any other investors (with significant capital) I know of invest, either equity or debt), we only consider deals where (1) the “sponsor”, or borrower have a significant investment of their own capital, unless they’ve owned the property many years.  

But what type of return are you looking at typically when buying a piece of raw land, then getting it shovel ready?

My website is on my direct mail pieces I send when I follow up, and flyers. 2) I hear you say don’t follow- up nine times so can you explain why?

However, I'm looking to buy a piece of property in the Dallas market (preferably a duplex or triplex), but I don't know the area very well.

People are just more sane in those markets.I was buying foreclosures in King, Snohomish and Piece during the last cycle.

Get the loan approved and don't lock rate as you have 12 months to get all the pieces lined up and approval from planning.

Note: I believe they call out "manufactured home" separate of "the property" not because this form only deals with manufactured homes but because a manufactured home on land but not on a permanent foundation is considered a separate piece of real estate form the land.

I will also disagree with everyone above, you could make both of these strategies hands off, with the right moves.These baby steps during the next year will gain you the confidence and the knowledge, to best utilize that 100k, if that is the best case at that point. and you may be able to stretch that 100k into a few deals, or limitless deals if you have the right pieces to playHappy to chat more and give my guidance!

Hey, if you want to get a bang for your buck get a piece of the pie. 

Also just picking on one piece of the package.
