You do not need equity to conduct a value add or get construction financing.

@Robert EllisAre you leveraging construction-to-permanent loans or private funding?

BUT, I am sick living in construction and would like to move to a new home and then finish fliping and sell or hold the two homes asap.

Also, I wanted to convey that the type of investor I describe should on;y accept a quality tenant well above what’s typically considered acceptable in the industry.  

The real estate investing industry uses "Classes" to rank property performance risk, but there's NO agreed upon industry model:(Here's what we use for our Metro Detroit market:Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

This information is then linked in the database—think of techniques like pulling signatures from mortgage documents and extracting unit counts/construction types from building permits.This allows you to search my name and instantly see all of the rental properties and construction projects I own, even though they are well covered by holding companies.

Typically if you attend any investor meetings about 1/2 the crowd in many groups are agents looking for business.If you want to network, try service clubs, alumni groups, charities, religious groups, hobby groups or whatever interests you. 

What kind of returns are you typically seeing on these deals?

I'm looking for some advice/insight on HOA management in the Pigeon Forge/Gaitlinburg area.A little background--I'm the owner of two new construction cabins in a 10-unit PUD in downtown Pigeon Forge. 

Lock-out, should they continue to not come even, would be typically less than 14-days.Unless the tenant comes even with the rent (which would result in dismissal of the non-payment of the case), there is generally limited defense to this process.
