If you find a seller willing to carry a note, you might be able to negotiate an arrangement that works without needing traditional bank financing.Another approach would be to partner with someone who has capital but lacks construction expertise.

Piece of advice - when I started I wish I would have focused on my multifamily niche/expertise from day one vs trying to be the agent for everyone (flippers, STR buyers, land, etc). 

I enjoyed meeting you and was truly impressed by your dedication to learning about real estate investment and development in depth.Congratulations to the four students who have already completed the course and received their certificates at the event! 

Not sure if this appeals to youJoint Ventures: Partnering with a larger hospitality group or another investor might not only bring in funding but also expertise and industry connections. 40% of a deal is better than no deal.

Now do not get me wrong, tech has its place in real estate, but it’s not a replacement for expertise.

Anything that involves a load bearing wall will generally need an architect IME, but it can also be required (maybe indirectly) through the jurisdiction's building code/enforcement.Got it, thank you for lending your expertise!

If they have a stronger marketing plan and better local expertise, it could be a smart switch.Hope this helps!

I enjoy woodworking and epoxy projects. 

I know enough about a lot of things to be dangerous, but lack detailed expertise and certifications.I will say that I was extremely disappointed with my last realtors lack of construction knowledge so you will have a leg up there for sure, and you should play up that as a selling point

Success requires substantial local resources and expertise.
