I’m not focused on volume, but rather on maximizing the assignment fee per deal, compared to doing multiple smaller deals to achieve the same result.My question is: Where can I find sellers with messy titles?

We are dedicated to delivering comprehensive real estate investment services designed to help our clients achieve their goals.You bring the deal; we bring the funding! 

Quote from @Devin James: In one of our development projects, the City staff asked us to remove 40 units from our concept plan.This wasn’t requested by the City Commission at a formal hearing, it was the opinion of the staff.Our original concept already proposed fewer units than the current zoning would have allowed.Here’s what erasing 40 units means:- 40 fewer homes for buyers- Over $1M in lost profit for our team- Fewer tax dollars and impact fees that could’ve benefited the City’s infrastructure & servicesWe gotta get betterEveryone wants more affordable housing, but not everyone wants to do what it takes to achieve it we never listen to the recommending bodies. we move for city approvals and work closely. the other thing we do is keep going back to the same groups over and over and over and over every month on the same agenda and make very small reductions like 2% or 4% and that reduces and beats them down eventually they accept what you want. it's just before beating a dead horse. we keep tabling until they give us something we all agree on then we go to vote. in our city in columbus we have to get recommendations but that's our strategy. we used to come out as aggressive as possible. we typically study developments in the area and keep it very similar in terms of density. we have a track record of very controversial projects and litigation and not taking no as an answer. after a year of that haha I can tell you it's not worth it. now we are more relationship based and buying the right kinds of plots of land. if the numbers don't work on the front end don't do the development. 

@Alex Fenske - Amazing story, congrats on your success.

Acquiring Clients: For those who’ve raised capital successfully and built a strong network of clients, how did you go about finding and nurturing those relationships?

What have you achieved so far?

Focusing on the best quality real estate will allow you secure more favorable financing terms, more likely to achieve favorable exits/refinances, more likely to attract the best capital partners.

So, WHY screw with a successful system that your able to operate without undue stress? 

If you achieved this by paying all cash, then you are losing money. 

This is key to being successful.
