You have relationship infrastructure and knowledge that took a very long time to develop.  

I'm fairly new to investing and looking to wholesale at first, then develop a portfolio of rental properties in apartments, SFH or both.

Although it’s great you have developed great saving habits.    .   

The end goal is to have a piece of land with multiple houses: one for my growing family but also a home for my mother in law.My mother in law has agreed to foot the money on a new property/land up front and when ready we can buy land from her to build/develop etc. 

Lenders get paid at closing.Consider developing a better process to find and vet your lenders, Torianne.

The executive order calls only for Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson to see if they can find any more funds to help out.

In the future, we aim to get into fixer-uppers, development, etc., but for now, we like to only consider semi-stabilized (with minimal deferred maintenance) or fully stabilized, cash-flowing properties. 

I am now looking to get into new construction development in the PG, Montgomery, and Rockville county areas of Maryland.

This is a long term development opportunity.

The primary goal is appreciation adding value building equity and therefore net worth.I’ve been at this “game” 46 years  and there is no magic bullet.It takes time, discipline and consistent effort.But it can be done in 10 years.Of course this means living below one’s means - ie spend less than they make - to develop and build cash and capital that can be invested and then watch ot grow over time.Hope this helps.Arn
