Very interesting topic and inspirational, I am newbe and at the phase that I had read enough books and listen to podcasts and attend local meet ups that I feel now I am hitting a Plato that need start my next level and that is looking at MLS and start analyzing deals, I know finding good deals from MLS is hard but at least it will give me the vision of the numbers.

It has occurred to me that the best means for me to get started is a House Hack for my first property to get my REI venture off the ground.

I will send you a message and we can find some common ground to build upon!

I have a LOC for $750k at 12%, however I can't even think of walking into a bank, and most "platforms" wont look at ground up development.

Always helps to have 'boots on the ground'.

@Kevin AllenIf you are talking about a multi-unit property (i.e. a 16-unit apartment) there is no expectation of privacy in the common areas of the property - including the grounds.If the property is a residential property (SFH, townhouse/duplex, etc) and you have not established in the lease that you would be retaining access to a portion of the property (garage, out-building, grounds) or that you would be providing an ongoing service (yard work, snow removal), it is reasonable for the tenant to expect quite enjoyment of the entire premises.  

So far, this has just consisted of just one phase (a postcard) that those on the probate list have received, and now I'm ready to send my 2nd phase of that campaign.I had in mind a letter, (written possibly) complete with my letterhead which would detail my services and what I specialize in.Does anyone have any better recommendations?

I just finished phase I of a small Townhome development.

Once you buy one, you will get better at each phase.
