Thank you all in advance for those “lessons learned.”David - I never purchase the land until I get all of the entitlements and permits and hi Ty the purchase price of the land to the density granted so if you get less than you’re looking for you can reduce the purchase price.Also I begin with the end game in mind and make sure that I have Builders lined up ready to take down the lights when I’m finished so I know what my profit is in advance.If I’m building the houses and developing the land I make sure the market can absorb the inventory at the price point I am projecting and I work everything backwards from there.

If the Fed increases or reduces the interest at that time, it will be just one small thing In the middle of many other forces into play.

I think the intent of the "two person per bedroom" policy is probably to do something that is humane to address that problem and reduce the liability of the landlord. 

For 70k I'd take a hard look at reducing it down to 2 units!

You can make a request directly to the carrier and they may be able to reduce the value.
