(my latest was a 5 bedroom,   $920 guaranteed rent, $500 clear cash flow on $60,000 investment) I'm just a retired architectural designer, but I found a unique WWll city with below market and inexpensive homes with huge demand from gov sub Urban dwellers!!!

Partner and I split equity 50/50, with agreed exit strategy.Note: i have experience with design, architectural drawings, construction and property management, etc.

Because I am a builder and architectural designer and I have confidence in my ability to add value to any property I purchase and it is far easier and safer for me to work with empty building and make all things uniform and because if spaces are designed uniformly then whatever I purchase to put in the units I can buy in bulk and save money.

I have journey level skills in just about all building trades and I am an architectural designer so when I want to wholesale a house I am willing to join my fortune or luck with any of my cash buyers .

I mean not only was I a licensed GC but I am also an architectural designer and have always drawn up my own plans.

The book outlines the architecture to create or transform a business and IMHO is the best outline to create success in any business.

Google architectural salvage, re-use, construction salvage, etc.

I do however have the experience (25+ years) in design, architecture and construction AND i have over 500K in equity in my home (which is a 2 family)I would like to pull some money out of the home / borrow against the equity but again the banks will be concerned with the debt ratio’s.

New construction price (-) selling cost (set by market)(-) Construction Cost (set by market)(-) Financing Cost (set by market)-------------------------(=) Builder Profit Margin (-) Cost of development (i.e replat, civil, architecture, city permit , utility, roads etc)   (set by market)(-) Cost of financing  (set by market)---------------------------------(=) Developer Profit Margin (-) Acquisition Cost for land owner (variable) ------------------------------(=) Profit for Land owner  (==< this is where you are in the value chain ) Look like you know construction cost for new dev and you can plug that in to get a ball park range of price and negotiate off that.
