figuring that if I track and work towards creating and "presenting" 250 specific deals to my clients.My Theory being: Tracking "deals presented" will pull forward the need to go search and find deals, and will also drive the deals closed and revenue numbers, so we shall see but logics out to me so I'm liking it so far.

If you truly want to go the affordable route then you will want to more or less mimic the big builders, and make up for the smaller margins with volume and economies of scale.

This will show you that people have options to go out and pick another house over your place. 

Im waiting to hear back to go look at the last unit.

Nice to have a problem that the properties have appreciated so much that the LTV is below my desired LTV goal.  

If you're having to go out and "raise" your entry fee, you might want to think about other investments until your cash grows.

You can usually get a lender to go 85% of cost or 70% of the As Completed Value for such a project.

They're more costly- not a ton, but if it eliminates stress for you, that might be the way to go. 

I'm right there with you in regards to going toe-to-toe with a licensed professional on such a large purchase.

Do you have any advice on how to go about attending my first meeting?
