I have invested into one of their syndication projects as of recently.

From what I’ve heard, some lenders in Texas are especially favorable for these types of projects, so it’s worth checking out a few in the area.Now, finding those elusive off-market deals is an art in itself!

Looking forward to seeing what projects you’re working on!

I started last year and have completed three successful projects with 30% returns before tax within 3-6 months.

Once you've got that experience, you can slowly transition to solo projects. 

When there is "value add" in the project the returns are much higher but you wait about 5 years and hope the market doesn't change in the meanwhile.

I have heard of instances where one (the borrower) is allowed to choose the appraisal company or put in a recommendation for one which the institutional bank may honor, and then the person already knows someone there, that they have gotten to know with time from other projects, and it's not unnaturally inflating value but favoring a good one to keep the reoccurring client.  

Perhaps not a trend to consider across the city but any neighborhood that would attract college educated young professional families seems to be a good bet if you wanted to focus on this asset type.I plan to build 12 townhomes as a second phase of a condo/townhome project in a good area of Mount Airy near the Chestnut Hill boarder and even though I’m likely to years away from being ready to begin phase 2, my current plans are to keep the 12 homes as rentals for the precise reasons I outlined above.
