I have a lot to learn on this side until then but am looking at buying a value add multifamily rather than residential.

This reduces exit options and affects the value. 10) Small number of small units is the most expensive residential development there is.

Plenty of opportunity here in DFW.So far I've been working with a couple of local development firms (Realty Capital & Hunt Realty Investments) that have given me some guidance on the commercial side.

DTI ratios are generally used in consumer/residential (aka primary) mortgages when the property is in your personal name.

Those are the players for residential...commercial the same way.

There's a big difference in a residential designer and a vacation rental designer.

The market I’m interested in are residential rental and leasing, senior housing, and distressed properties/owners. 

For single family residential I think it is a red flag, usually price if they are sitting.

A FHA 203k Loan is where the purchase price and rehab costs are rolled into a single loan.Assuming you have a respectable FICO you can buy, with a FHA Loan (3-5% down, a 30 year amortization schedule, and a residential loan rate which is around 7% in today’s market).If the property requires rehab, the Realtor and/ or Mortgage Broker will suggest applying, for a FHA 203k Loan.

Are you searching for residential or commercial developers?
