The mainland, near the Speedway, has experienced some explosive growth due to the new One Daytona development and the Speedway expansion/renovations.

Some investors opt for larger homes with more bedrooms, while others convert existing residential properties to fit more people comfortably, ensuring they meet safety and accessibility standards.One thing to consider—smaller operations like RAL often rely on word of mouth and local reputation to fill rooms, so community engagement and relationships with local health care providers are key to success.PS: Fun fact—by 2030, it’s projected that more than 20% of the U.S. population will be over the age of 65, which makes senior housing a high-demand sector for decades to come. 

For a cash-out refinance on a vacant lot, finding traditional lenders can be a bit tricky as most focus on developed properties.

They’re experiencing strong population growth and a real need for new housing.

I suggest you look into commercial lending, to learn about it before you require it, and start looking for people in the lending space who can assist you as you move forward and with whom you can develop relationships.You now have mad skills and experience doing the whole demo and rebuild, and if you can repeat a few times, your one deal enables you to add a couple others.  

@Natalie Johnstone My former employer who was a privately traded company that owned over a billion dollars of real estate and had an ancillary management business with revenues that exceeded $100M annually would sometimes form entities in Delaware because business cases are tried in front of a judge w/o a Jury and case law that's applied to decisions is very well developed in the State.

That way you get a speculation/development piece, a cashflow piece of real estate, and don't pay any tax.

So, I have not done anything in Waco but from our experience in Bryan/CollegeStation, places near university bus stops and being abreast on what thecommunity is investing in as far as development tend to be better areas andhelp with appreciation.Again, I'm notperfect and still trying to navigate the markets and always trying to learn myself!

It’s also beneficial to look into population trends.

They may have the balance sheet and backing now to deliver more of them, but they need some consulting advice from an apartments developer.
