@Amir PortalFort Worth (Southside): Affordable entry points with growing rental demand due to development and school proximity.Arlington: A solid mix of price points and strong rental potential, especially near UT Arlington or entertainment districts.Focus on areas with rising population growth, job opportunities, and low vacancy rates.

those that dont know CA have no clue how much development is there and there is no way its going to crash like a detroit or something.  

Over time, we’ve developed a strong relationship with the Housing Authority across various neighborhoods and ZIP codes.

Flip to another developer looking for your zoning ordinances.

It's our least developed beach.

They are developing along the river so a lot of upside here (look up hazelwood green).

Wonder what they charge developers to access their capital resources.   

@Dave FosterAre development rights “real property”?

Speak with the director of development (they're not always titled that way, so just ask for whoever deals with area developments, new construction, rezoning, etc.) to ask if they'd be supportive of your plan.

These are leased to businesses (like chain stores) that cover taxes, insurance, and maintenance, making them much more hands-off than residential rentals.Real Estate Syndications / REITs – You can invest passively in commercial real estate (apartment complexes, self-storage, industrial, etc.) through syndications or real estate investment trusts (REITs) without being a landlord.Hard Money Lending / Private Lending – With $500K in equity, you could act as a private lender, funding real estate investors who flip homes or develop properties.
