I have a few lots in New Orleans and am looking to run  profitability analysis of sfr 3/2 development v. one zoned as duplex.  

After awhile you develop a keen nose for ******** and you're the real deal 👍

Since you are living in the property, you probably have developed relationships with an electrician, a plumber, and a general handyman, if you haven't reach out and meet a few now, while you are in the home, so that you can easily make a call or two when it will be necessary.

Quote from @Robert Frazier: It's a banner week for our fledgling development business.

Thanks for the suggestion. to answer yours, I’m hoping to start with acquiring, then eventually development.

I'd rather pay for a platform whose revenue comes from subscription fees because at least they are developing features and functionality for the "right reasons.I've never heard of Digb (what kind of name is that?). 

Like I brokered a 22  lot development of duplex's for a builder and just charged him 30k flat fee per sale.. they sold for 225k each back in 05 when I did this and I sold them all in one weekend at a big event i paid for in San Jose CA.. all to CA investors it was my fly and buy program I did in those days..

Maybe attend a chamber of commerce meeting and ask around where development will start.

This gives you a foundation for making a fair offer.Secure Financing: Be prepared to show you’re a serious buyer with funding lined up, whether through cash, traditional financing, or a creative option like seller financing.Have a Strategy for Repairs or Development: If the property is distressed, outline how you’ll handle improvements to bring it back to productive use.

Not sure if hard money would be the correct route to go for this one or notHey @Scott Allen I generally run the initial underwriting to minimize the developer's equity (@Shayan Sameer) based on the max LTV % or LTARV % that the handful of HMLs that quote me on my deals.
