If the houses are in decent shape and could get traditional financing do not sell seller finance.

Quote from @Kaushik Sarkar: I’m exploring strategies to scale my real estate portfolio given the current mortgage rate Not sure much makes sense at 11%...Ouch....tough enough at 7.5%   Might have to put more than 20% down to finance....maybe 30% in North Texas.   

I’m currently working on a deal in Fort Lauderdale & actively looking for financing solutions like hard money or private lending.

Any tips or advice?

Has anyone had any luck on structuring a deal with seller financing to obtain the land, then use a lender for the horizontal development infrastructure.

That is a great tip! 

.## Financing OptionsFor Hard Money and Private Lender financing, it's crucial to build relationships with local lenders.

LLCs tend to be beneficial for financing options if using hard money as it can be required depending on the program.

Tax-Exempt Bonds: Tribes can issue tax-exempt bonds for certain types of developments, reducing financing costs.Challenges: Projects often need to be structured as joint ventures or leases with the tribe, and compliance with tribal laws and federal rules is critical.

Financing might be a challenge.I would recommend consulting with a attorney, loan officer, and CPA to discuss your specific situation and determine the best course of action.
