As it stands four more student housing high rises have been approved and are in various stages of construction.

I had all this in house at one point but I am in a very different stage in my career now.  

I'm at a stage now with the attorneys creating the HOA Declarations where we need to decide on ownership percentages per unit.

So in this early stage, I want to create a solid structure that is streamlined, offers protection for liability and offers tax advantages for somebody living in CA.Getting to the point...At this stage of the game, is creating a land trust in conjunction with an LLC overkill?

SFR is a great play in recessionary markets as a store of wealth but a terrible and risky play in a late stage cycle.

Enter the "non-qm" and "alt doc" loans with their trash rates stage left....Hopefully Fannie/Freddie coming out of federal conservatorship rationalizes things a bit.It's not substantially different in your line of work.

The getting your feet wet stage is awesome and I'm all about doing SOMETHING instead of just sitting there deciding even if it isn't the best deal but that rate seems real high.  

My credit is currently in the rebuilding stages and I am hesitant about trying to get pre-approved anywhere as to not put hits on my credit.

@John StarkLots of options but you need as much information as you can get at this stage, it’s a complicated industry when you factor in risk.1) get a job in the industry, Property manager,RE agent, maintenance tech, painter, anything to give you more insight 2) Best way to start investing in buying a double with an FHA loan and house hacking or making improvements while living there.

Hello everyone, I am in the beginning stages of planning for my first project, which will be a house hack rehab in Baltimore City.
