Quote from @Adam Ortiz: Hey everyone,My biggest dream is to own my own property, and start developing some cash flow.

@Todd Fullerlove Love that you're looking to develop relationships with local, community banks in Knoxville.

Check out some of things happening in Detroit in 2024:https://michiganchronicle.com/2024/01/03/major-developments-that-will-define-detroit-in-2024/Your first question shouldn't be WHERE to invest (that is #2 question), but HOW you will invest!

Has anyone had any luck on structuring a deal with seller financing to obtain the land, then use a lender for the horizontal development infrastructure.

He will own 1/2 of about 4M in real estate after 2 years and is already under contract on 2 more developable projects.

What folks should be doing is developing the understanding enabling them to build their own tools.

This can help you gain experience and start to network and develop a team of people who can help you invest in future deals.  

Currently underwriting 35 SFHs being purchased as a portfolio by a PE Firm in order to push rents via ADU developments.

Shortly after the crash my tenants learned that condo developers were renting out luxury apartments in the area for around the same rents I was charging so I was forced to lower rents. 1200/apt 2 1050/apt3. 

Now I've got a property under contract:$78K purchase$35K in development of utilities.$24K in soft costs (permits impact fees etc)$200K (or less) buildout of the house (size tbd on after-build-appraisal) Likely going with 2/2 A frame 1000 sf.
