It is time for us to modernize our practices.We are a fairly basic operator/developer with a few 3-4 unit buildings.

Lets say i am a land owner with 500 acres and on one side of my wooded property which is 5000 ft long a developer builds 100 houses .

I found bigger pockets podcasts, and joining in here to learn and develop. 

I’m working with a build-to-rent development there that’s seeing strong appreciation growth, similar to what we’re seeing in Gardner and Olathe, KS.

I actually advise on and develop reserve studies for a living.

You're going to bleed cash before you make a dime of revenue.

Since the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) doesn’t consider child support taxable income, I would not consider it in the rent calculation unless you have a HUD-specific home.According to hud.gov, “[rental property] owners must count alimony or child support amounts awarded by the court unless the applicant certifies that payments are not being made and that he or she has taken all reasonable legal actions to collect amounts due, including filing with the appropriate courts or agencies responsible for enforcing payment.”So, does child support count as income for renting?

Buy a townhouse in this development near where I live called Sea Colony:Details: $860k for a comfortable townhouse.Pros:Comfortable place to live for the next few years, and I’d still have liquidity to invest elsewhere.It is still in my current community where all of my friends live, so I would still be where I want to be location-wise.Will get appreciation.Cons:High HOA fees ($660/month) and potential 10k special assessment in the next few years.Likely won’t cash flow after we move, so unsure whether it would make sense to hold.3. 

I would assume there are some people on here who have gone down the path of developing affordable housing projects for their respective markets. 

I help investors/developers build with modular (prefab) homes here in SoCal.
