I like the product but their policies drowning them down in competition.

You may want to find a private lender, sell something, etc…The mortgage lates are going to keep you from any bank/mortgage products

Because there was barely any cheap product and I had buyers looking for this type of product.

Other reasons could be related to title or physical defects (i.e. foundation issues).

Quote from @James Wise: The term "cross selling" is used when you sell related products.

I know the production homebuilders sell lots way in advance, but I think that's a whole different ballgame. 

If you have a finished product, they won't move in for 60 days but your lender requires signed lease and/or move-in for refi...this will delay your refi.

They spend a ton of money on advertising their product and apparently have none left over to spend on product development.

Hi Shawn-Congratulations on starting out on your real estate investing career.You have a question about whether it is good to have your real estate license or not as an investor and you are leaning toward multifamily investing.I personally think having your real estate license is helpful as an investor.Having your real estate license allows you to work with other investors to help them build their portfolios which helps expand your network while being productive, you can research market value more effectively, find out about deals before they are listed, and of course it allows you to collect the commission on purchasing any listed property.To Your Success!
