I am seeking a partner with significant financial resources to help bring my vision to life.I am open to any advice or ideas you might have.Thank you, I agree with Jay, you will not find a lender to lend on this type of project but you are going to need to bring in an equity partner.

It works...but any marketing works, it just depends. 

So you're going to get responses from a lot of people that offer coaching.

@Martti Eckert in our opinion, you'll need to be really familiar with construction, including costs, or be able to find somoen on the ground you can REALLY trust (but still verify).

I just moved to Tyler and bought my first real estate property here and I just wanted to meet other likeminded investors in the area!

Quote from @William Dorrough: I currently either purchase and value add large scale multifamily properties or develop, and build ground up my issue with scaling is we have done this without brining in investors i have a great deal flow with a good track record im really looking to do more i have the capacity but have the need for more capital in one way or another  Scaling without investors can be tough, especially in multifamily.

If you’re set on Florida, focus on areas just outside the main city that are still growing—you’ll find better deals there.

However what happens when the tenant vacates and now the unit has to be turned over/takes a few months to find a new tenant and during that same period of time the sewer line goes and you get hit with that $15,000 cap ex expense in addition to the vacancy and turn over costs.

Focus on a market you like for those macro reasons then focus on finding a deal that works for you.2.

Personally, in this market, I would work on saving up and really doing my best to find a great opportunity and pull the trigger then.
