Hard to beat the Chase Sapphire or Chase Ink cards for your business.  2/3 of the Chase Ink cards don't have an annual fee. 

I need to draw up plans, get a site survey and do some other build up.

Are you open to doing a few fix and flips first to build up your cash - THEN put it towards something long term?

I personally like the Chase Ink series of cards as I use Chase for my personal cards as well. 

They build up reviews across all the listings.The downside is that if you want to switch PM's or self manage, you will have to start over.

The 1031 exchange is the huge tax savings move to get some more doors and build up that wealth with equity movement to larger deals! 

If so, a best course of action would be refinancing those into lower-rate perm debt which should lower monthly payments and maybe provide some cash-out - that would be the cleanest/most conservative way to build up some more capital

But if you don’t have to build up to road specs and there’s not a ton of large trees or anything big to be taken down and you could just use driveway grade materials you might be able to do a driveway for under $15,000.

I mean, once the deal is inked, then I'll be in charge of a syndication and contractually bound to certain things, and even with good property management in place, I assume there will be some headaches (especially as a newbie).

This bill becomes effective in King, Pierce, Kitsap, and Snohomish counties in July 2025.- HB 1110 ("middle housing bill) promotes development of multifamily properties on many residential lots in Seattle.
