I don't qualify for REP status so I will be taking normal depreciation. 1.

So, that gives you some exposure..Its normally not advisable to mix business lines. 

The strategy that has normally worked for me is to put up a fight even if it means suing them first (before they sue you).

run out and get a pre-paid credit card and/or a "normal" check card ASAP.  

Normally bad mold is in the basement.

Setup dummy accounts and run them through what would be (as close to normal) day to day process and see which one works best for you.

Just make sure it's built reasonably well and still check for everything that you normally would during inspection.Good luck! 

There are a lot of youtube influencers that make these scenario's sound like they are perfectly normal, even though they verge on, or are, outright fraud.

I'm working on projects in florida and ohio. entitled or unentitled is a big difference. we typically look for land in larger tracts in columbus ohio for under 50k per acre. that's mostly rural land that is then entitled through engineering and zoning variances, a huge money maker if you don't do it. entitled land depends on density. lowest I've seen is typically 6 dwelling units per acre and highest I've seen in suburban markets might be 26. i think there is a lot of missing things to answer your questions like how big of projects, but I can give you a very recent lot we featured for investors who build a stacked triplex with us around Orlando and other markets in florida. it was a 43k piece of land on about .3 acres. through planned development you can get a duplex approved it was in poinciana in Osceola county. that's on the small side and it's hard to find land and it wouldn't really increase in value there but that's about 5k or less in fees to get that done. so all in 50k for a 2-3 unit. so 25k a door would be a good price to look at. normally as you buy at scale it gets much cheaper because you are doing all the value and creating something from rural land or wetlands, etc. entitled land typically sells for 11k-13k per door I would say on average in suburban markets on a national average. that is extremely difficult to track but we work with groups in land entitlement all over the country who co -develop with us and we create benchmarks that's more of an internal conservative and we push high density and multifamily to maximize profits on the exit once the project is entitled. 

Is my experience normal?
