Successfully acquiring, renovating, and selling multiple distressed properties can significantly boost your returns, but it also comes with its own set of challenges.

I invest in land and have done entitlement/zoning and other DD work successfully for years.A broker called me this morning on a property I have on a busy interesection and has a QSR client who likes the location, but does not want to do a ground lease, only a build to suit. 

If you’ve got any success stories, lessons learned, or even cautionary tales, I’d love to hear them.Thank you for welcoming me to this amazing community.

Yes, I also feel hesitant about letting other tenants know that I am the property owner.I agree that targeting areas with good neighborhoods and higher class ratings is a safer choice.

Quote from @Dustin Hagemeier: As someone in property management, I’m pleased to share that we’ve had significant success with the Section 8 program. [...]

No fees = higher rates.

I attended the RALA 3-day training in Phoenix and took a couple of online courses as well, and while I found these courses to be very valuable in helping get a clearer understanding of the space and what it might take to be successful, I eventually I found it most beneficial to bring in a partner/advisor who has built residential assisted living facilities here in Texas and has been running them successfully.

I have used Wichita Federal Credit Union, and Gateway mortgage and have had success, hopefully they can help you! 

I'm on the hudvash program and have been on it successfully for 16 years.

I'm glad you were successful.
