@Eric L ConryThis is a highly personal choice.

If you want to develop it, I can refer you a lender that will lend on a completed subject to appraisal but you'll be limited if you just want it for the lot.If you simply want the land as part of your property, you have more options including a HELOC which you can still use for development down the road. 

If you dont have a great team to work with you can lose your shirt even if the house is next door to where you live... there are lots of great areas but only a limited number of great teams so our final choice has always been team driven... saying that we look for an area where there are lots of opportunities  and rental houses available in good areas using the 2 % rule  we found this in Detroit and Toledo  more then willing to share what we do and what we have learnt over the years

At the beginning, it may be difficult to get a more expensive property that will appreciate well and so your choice is go with the cheaper property and get cash flow until you can sell and upgrade, or wait for a really good deal which you may be waiting for quite a while and its possible that you will have spent so much time waiting that you could have purchased multiple cash flowing properties by the time you get a good appreciation deal that you can qualify for / refinance after the rehab. i know anyone can go out and get seller financing deals, HML, flip to build capital or whatever the case may be I am just saying sometimes those will be harder and could result in less deals overall. 

I think it's around $15K minimum for a smaller place as a reference point. 

It’s a smart choice if you want to streamline operations and ensure a consistent, high-quality guest experience without being hands-on 24/7.I'd be happy to share more ideas.

I'am now on my 4th year with Jerome but no longer am in the 12 month course. instead last year i joined another private group Jerome offers to students that have been apart of the program for a minimum of one year which is running me $30,000 a year which includes another course that dives in deep mostly with Muti-family apartment complexes, Manufacturing warehouses, Commercial Property and even High Rise skylines for people looking to scale their real estate portfolio to a massive level and attain nine figures.I Hope this helps if you have any specific questions or are thinking about joining the program I don't mind referring you to someone! 

When my loan was not going to close, it was one of the options that my broker and lender told me about and actually referred me to for a conversation.

Can someone give me reference of lender who can give HELOC on an investment property owned under LLC?

But, for future reference, in Ohio there is a little used approach to always get your money back.
