NO BUENO.At best you can make a LTR work in a higher crime area if you are good at managing C/D class units.... but most first timers are NOT going to succeed in D class areas.Living in a bad area is NOT the same same as managing someone else living in a bad area

You'll be lucky to find anything that will yield you 8% or more in C class areas (which is more then a HYSA or CD will if you keep that money in the bank but there is a ton more risk). 

I've seen 100 different structures. there's bigger players, more capital, a lot depends on the deal, track record, debt amount, returns, pitching to funds is way different. we separate construction financing and long term financing for the clients that build with us and help educate them.

We do C/D properties.   

So I put a bunch of my expenses there, and put equivalent amount in CD for a year - basically doing rate arbitrage.

@Ivana Timmers There are some big players in wholesaling down here in SJ.

Thanks for the kind words @Greg Srader and for sharing your insights here - those are some awesome lessons that a lot of new players can learn from.

.- Home to over 3,000 tech companies and a host of accelerators and incubators, Austin is quickly developing a reputation as a key player in the US AI startup scene.- According to Built in Austin, defense technology appears to be the leading area of interest for venture capital investors on the Austin tech scene.

How many hours it takes is going to depend entirely on the details of the project and how well all of the players involved (including you and your client) work together.If you're really trying to do this at scale and build "unlimited" houses, ditch the bring-your-own-materials plan and start building excellent relationships with contractors, subcontractors, and govt. building departments in the areas you want to build.

Try to find your people in different places and set up a screening system that weeds out the weak players and crybabies.
