Keep track of the prices on Vrbo and Airbnb.

BTW- it has a 10 yr track record.2) Our opportunity debt fund with two classes.

You still need some money to cover part of the rehab until you get your first draw, and if you're a brand new investor you might not qualify for 100% LTC on your first deal, but if you can partner with someone with experience on their track record or can prove significant past contractor experience then we might go that high on your first deal. 

Quote from @Devin James: In one of our development projects, the City staff asked us to remove 40 units from our concept plan.This wasn’t requested by the City Commission at a formal hearing, it was the opinion of the staff.Our original concept already proposed fewer units than the current zoning would have allowed.Here’s what erasing 40 units means:- 40 fewer homes for buyers- Over $1M in lost profit for our team- Fewer tax dollars and impact fees that could’ve benefited the City’s infrastructure & servicesWe gotta get betterEveryone wants more affordable housing, but not everyone wants to do what it takes to achieve it we never listen to the recommending bodies. we move for city approvals and work closely. the other thing we do is keep going back to the same groups over and over and over and over every month on the same agenda and make very small reductions like 2% or 4% and that reduces and beats them down eventually they accept what you want. it's just before beating a dead horse. we keep tabling until they give us something we all agree on then we go to vote. in our city in columbus we have to get recommendations but that's our strategy. we used to come out as aggressive as possible. we typically study developments in the area and keep it very similar in terms of density. we have a track record of very controversial projects and litigation and not taking no as an answer. after a year of that haha I can tell you it's not worth it. now we are more relationship based and buying the right kinds of plots of land. if the numbers don't work on the front end don't do the development. 

Life started moving fast as many probably can understand and I completely fell of track.

I'll likely be higher priced on an owner-occupied restaurant franchise, but you've been around the block and have a significant track record.

I’m interested in how others evaluate and track down these kinds of properties, especially from a distance.For example:When looking at distressed properties in other states or cities, what are your main indicators that it’s worth pursuing?

The most valuable lessons are issues that stop you in your tracks and you devote time and effort to solving them.  

, you have put me on the right track with very clear and concise observations to think about while evaluating my market.
