And lastly I would try to pay off any debt that’s not working for you soon as you can and early if possible. 730 is respectable but you definitely want to flirt with 800 in this game.

Establish your All-in Cost amount.

I DO understand how these can work moving up into 'Full Fledged REITs' as an 'end game' so to speak.

The HELOC I have has a maximum of 96k available and I also have other cash saved I can quickly access in case I need to in case things go wrong.So to get to my question...I'm trying to establish a good financial history for an LLC that I formed at the beginning of 2018.  

I said you move to Charleston and I will put you into business.So I had my GC who I can trust 1000% and 30 some new builds later and still ascending here we are.and now he has 7 of his own houses going.. so not only has he done great for me he has established himself as a local premier builder in the area.. but again we are just small potato's in that market there are plenty of really big players there.. we are just doing these little infills.. so as it relates to private equity and building its pretty cool.Someone from out of Area who does not have a Troy like I do could easily end up like Nick the first guy I funded there lose money hand over fist.. but again Nick is rich water off a ducks back for him.. but it got me the beach head.
