This means I make more per deal than a typical wholesale assignment.3.

REITs are typically easier to manage and can give you exposure to real estate without being directly involved.Explore Commercial Properties: If you're intrigued by the idea of parking lots, you could explore other commercial properties or mixed-use spaces.

Quote from @Devin James: In one of our development projects, the City staff asked us to remove 40 units from our concept plan.This wasn’t requested by the City Commission at a formal hearing, it was the opinion of the staff.Our original concept already proposed fewer units than the current zoning would have allowed.Here’s what erasing 40 units means:- 40 fewer homes for buyers- Over $1M in lost profit for our team- Fewer tax dollars and impact fees that could’ve benefited the City’s infrastructure & servicesWe gotta get betterEveryone wants more affordable housing, but not everyone wants to do what it takes to achieve it we never listen to the recommending bodies. we move for city approvals and work closely. the other thing we do is keep going back to the same groups over and over and over and over every month on the same agenda and make very small reductions like 2% or 4% and that reduces and beats them down eventually they accept what you want. it's just before beating a dead horse. we keep tabling until they give us something we all agree on then we go to vote. in our city in columbus we have to get recommendations but that's our strategy. we used to come out as aggressive as possible. we typically study developments in the area and keep it very similar in terms of density. we have a track record of very controversial projects and litigation and not taking no as an answer. after a year of that haha I can tell you it's not worth it. now we are more relationship based and buying the right kinds of plots of land. if the numbers don't work on the front end don't do the development. 

Typically the re-zoning to condos will be a pain point.

I think most people would agree that a single family home is better than a condo for a long term rental.

It can come from a personal investor who will negotiate terms, or potentially a piece of the equity.

Quote from @Mitchell Coles: In Ohio, property liens are typically recorded at the county level, making the County Recorder's Office a valuable resource for property research.

A couple of things I like to tell my newbies-Owning a short-term rental property can offer significant financial benefits.

I’ve been working with several lenders for DSCR loans, but I’ve found that the fees are quite high, with minimal benefit in terms of lowering my current interest rate.
