I have had a browse over the web but i can't find anywhere that can supply a foreign investor a short term loan such as Transactional funding.I would be making deals virtually and closing the deals over the internet with my ( c ) Buyer.I would really apreciate some advice here guys.. what steps i need to take to get this ball rolling.

I'm here in San Antonio, which is a hot market in and of itself, but nothing compared to Austin.Austin is a great city and I love it, but the traffic kills me!

They fill out a web form and get back to me.

I really hope to be able to contribute as time goes on as I learn more.I come from an Internet Marketing / Web Publisher background and have been self-employed for about 6 years now.

Most people leave their houses for about 8 hours a day to go to work, so they aren't there breaking anything either; a daycare will have ADDITIONAL (potentially destructive) bodies there during that 8 hours.You will have drop-off and pick-up parking and traffic to deal with.Does the Zoning of the property allow this use?

The traffic is miserable though and the density is crazy.She said if I want to borrow against the building I should by a business like a laundry mat - and hire a manager and make a 10% return instead of 20% - or a bed and breakfast, or weekly beach rentals and she will rent them out for me and we could live in one, at least we would be at the beach....

Also where utilities are located and any easements needed to tap in for commercial applications.The traffic count on that side of the road and any cross streets will play a role as well.The 2 acres her land sits on might not be as valuable as the Kmart and Target side or it might be more valuable to the right corporate tenant.They have varying degrees of criteria and like different things for different reasons.The more elevations and dips the property has the more it will cost to grade it.Going vertical is mostly the same cost but the grading and other issues to get there is where costs can get expensive.Demoing a house is very cheap and not that much of a concern for a developer cost wise.What does concern them is the city and county architectural requirements to build there,traffic lights,road ways,required retaining walls do to slope issues,soil composition with drainage issues and or rock formations,rivers and streams with endangered species,historical sites or houses,properties next to funeral homes or graveyards,etc.Those types of things along with of course demographics are of a big concern to a developer.If the 2 acres is on the corner or next to it where a pass through from the corner property once built out can be obtained you have good value.The further it gets away from the corner the more it limits who wants to be there and what price will be paid for it.

I do think the web can give a higher percentage of qualified leads, but perhaps less volume.

The latest property I found on my own searching the Web.

.- make offers.Don't fall into the trap of worrying about LLCs or web sites or (IMHO) business plans.
