I've had a long career in community development and have a lot of bank contacts that would likely be interested in investing, but I'd need to prove the concept first with an initial fund (there are also a lot of other community development tools that could be leveraged to maximize and scale this).

Keep in mind I dont do rental properties we do land projects new builds and capital partner with other developers who need capital.. 

Bonus 4: develop a list of questions you want to get answers to before you do any opportunity.

Growing up on one of the Ranch's in Northern Ca my dad bought to develop 2k acres.

Some of the most expensive and difficult properties in the country (and world) to develop were vaporized into potentially un-developable lots.

Quote from @Andy Tack: Hi Lance, we are developing a project that is partially in a flood zone also.

I do expect greater development of condos and townhomes and higher density single family communities. - Acreage will continue to be a very hot commodity.

Much like by the end of this decade, I will take those same steps to become even less involved with work and have more times with my kids who will be really developing and that will be my focus.The difference once I made money, and was able to make it make money for me I de-risked by eliminating leverage.

.- Both Sterling and Bank of Marin offer financing to TIC developers for acquisition and renovation of buildings that will then be converted and sold as tenancy in common.

Red Rock Development spent $50 million building the 600,000sqft warehouse (that Amazon now occupies) without a tenant lined up based off the projected growth.
