Curious to know opinions from real estate agents, flippers, developers and anyone in the know regarding what home buyers generally would prefer.

We are not currently under any sort of contract and we just found this thread through a google search on Lendbase.We are currently working on a construction loan to develop some residential lots, assumed the Mortgage Broker would be on the up and up... had some sales-ey call with a guy out of Utah. 

HELOCs are not available because they are residential loans guaranteed by individuals and what you seek is a type of commercial loan or credit line which are available to seasoned companies with proven financial track record.

Low taxes, low crime, low homelessness, friendly people, all 4 seasons, etc!

Quote from @Daniel Huang: Hi, I am trying to transition to develop my rental income as I am in the final years of my professional career.  

I don't think rent to retirement can vet a deal any better than anyone else or you, they just have a bit of a system. but the new builds in Lehigh acres, Cape Coral, north port, etc are all garbage. septic systems, poor economics, low rent to purchase price ratios, you are banking on appreciation and buying at market. building direct is going to give you a competitive advantage on a 3 unit let's say worth 600,000 you are going to be 120k ahead than if you bought it through them. that's my analysis. if you are super lazy and too busy to make money and have millions to throw around then I'd recommend not thinking much about investing. but you can also invest in funds and be way omre passive than buying a new build from far away. but if you want to add real value then get involved and make it happen. getting wealthy isn't easy. you work hard for your money and there are build to rent developers like us that try to answer and add value to start buiding relationshipsl

I knew I wanted to develop an empire, scale my business, and achieve 100,000 units.

If I were 19, I’d work for a multifamily developer or an big time investor.

The wrong property management approach will lead to the dreaded three:1) high drama,2) high turnover,3) high property damage.Use Household-led Property Management (HPM) developed and perfected for co-living.5.
