@Thomas Farrell if you have any experience managing property/construction projects, I would look in to flipping properties and keeping the once that you see an acceptable cashflow on when finished.

Hey All, it looks like there's a lot of people here looking to meet and work together on a project.

Examples might include areas in the Midwest, Southeast, or Sunbelt regions.Multifamily Properties: Consider duplexes, triplexes, or small apartment buildings to increase unit count and spread risk across multiple tenants.Short-Term Rentals: If you’re comfortable with the management requirements, STRs in vacation or business travel markets can offer significantly higher cash flow potential than traditional rentals.Value-Add Properties: Look for opportunities to buy undervalued properties where you can force appreciation through renovations or better management.Decision FrameworkRun the Numbers: Compare the projected cash flow, equity growth, and tax implications of selling versus holding with a refinance or HELOC.

Any new commercial, industrial projects nearby? 

The lots will be great to develop (either by us or another builder) and that's where the big payback will be on this project. 

Let them build through hard work like teaming with reputable operator who may take a cut but own the project etc.Neal Bawa and associated companies are another bunch or lier’s who project rosy picture to sign up people but fial to deliver.Those two have made my experience with real estate very companies very negative.

One of the most common mistakes beginners make is jumping into large rehab projects without having a solid team or boots on the ground. 

I am on the same journey and as I have been battling over whether partnership or hard money makes sense for my own projects.

It gets complicated if you use a HELOC towards two separate projects as you would need to pro-rate the interest across the two projects.However, the answer would be yes, they would be deductible.

@Diogo Candido Wow very cool you are doing the same type of project i am looking to go into!
