Being able to persuade neighbors that  your development is good for them is another skill.All in all, working for a developer in any capacity is probably the best way to start.

This means, you must acquire the property in your individual capacity.

In my area, you basically agree to have the utility company add a "renewable surcharge" to your bill, and supposedly that encourages them to increase their renewable generation capacity. 

Those only cost a few hundred to install, assuming you have the capacity in your service panel and it's easy to run the lines. 

“That’s why the Downtown Austin Alliance is partnering with the Austin Board of Realtors and 30 other Austin nonprofits and business organizations to advocate at Austin City Hall for a new land development code that provides enough transit-supportive housing capacity.”

Unfortunately, other property managers didn't have the capacity to onboard 100+ units, so I had to slowly siphon the properties away from them over the next 3-4 months to two different PMs.

The property is in a flood plain....over time as development occurs there is very often a need to expand or adjust the natural flood control system by adding flow capacity, storage volume or surface area.

The best case scenario rents are $2200 at full capacity with everyone paying (rare), the mortgage is $1400, utilities run roughly $500, and property management takes 8% of what is collected (a good rate).

Lenders look at what is called "the five C's of credit": Charactor, Capacity, Capital, Condition and Collateral.You may be weak on one of the C's, but if the others are strong enough, it will get you a loan approval.

They pay this bill and will need  a lot of capacity as they will likely spend time in their rooms downloading stuff.7.
