The first was a development project converting a motel into an apartment in Tucson.

So unfortunately, as you scale, finding creative solutions like my colleagues above have suggested will be the name of the game. 

@Neil Narayan Hays county is prime for growth and far behind the development Williamson county has had.

Back in 2012, he purchased a property in a partially developed subdivision for around $215,000.

The investor also had no backup plan, and it was clear they hadn’t considered the potential risk if this failed - they just said "we would foreclose" - which if they did would (at best) provide single digit return...It gets even better, if they did get the borrower to follow their exit strategy, they would make around 13%...Here’s the problem: The gurus often make note investing sound like it’s just a game of persuasion, telling you it’s "easy" to get borrowers to agree to anything if you push the right buttons.

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 .

So MTRs that are close to the "action" are great.Also, I think the MTR market is getting more and more like Airbnb in Denver and Colorado, in that it's not an amateur's game.

Learning & experience is the name of the game getting started! 

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

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