My professional journey includes stints at Equity Residential, Cushman & Wakefield, and now EquityMultiple, where I help investors navigate the world of real estate syndications.TL;DR: Currently located in NYC, Landlady, licensed real estate agent (MA & NY), property manager, EquityMultiple maven, article-writing enthusiast, and devoted real estate lover.

Currently, I own 26 doors and run a property management company that oversees 350+ units.

Planning to start a complete home remodel (interior/exterior) on a home (currently 837 sq ft), kitchen and bathroom bump out, and add an additional bathroom. 

I got to my current financial success through a series of well thought out endeavors but with a massive sink or swim element as I am often self guided..."

Quote from @Chris Seveney: @Francisco AvancenaThere are specific lenders who will do land dealsBut of course not as many as traditional real estate.The key will be skin in the game - typically for land because it is less liquid than a home the lender will want to have a lower ltv on the deal I fund land flippers currently in  CO FLA WA ID MT NV AZ OR TX SC GA VA  one thing about land though LTV is lower and RATES are NOT the same as typical HML rates are higher for raw land but its a specialty niche and a business that I grew up in..

If you can find a current broker to bring you along that's likely best, but just going to events like that will show you the players in your market.

I live in Phx but we do most of our investing out of state, so I’m not also the most current on local trends: so find yourself a good local agent to confirm that:- it’s going to be hard to find anything at < $150k / door.
