I encourage you to engage someone who knows about land development matters before you assume it can be easily (or financially feasible) to subdivide property and get all your permits and entitlements.

As petroleum prices sink to newly tested lows, expect the trickle-down effect to take a toll on the cities in Texas, Oklahoma, North Dakota, and fracking states, like Ohio.While Charlotte and Atlanta are both good investment locations in 2016, I believe it is safe to say that Seattle is going to take the cake in 2016.

@Paul MacInnisAround here it's not really cost-effective to build anything that small at the moment.Unless demand is up in Windsor / Falmouth, does it really make sense to build?   

My lease states tenancy is for residence only, no business of any kind, and no conditions that would effect my normal insurance rates.  

Truth is...I don't have time to allocate to doing those things and be effective (or perhaps in part because I'm lazy, sure).

Are properties that are scheduled to be sold shortly at an upcoming tax sale, better to focus on, even though I have very limited time in which to make an effective direct mail response connection?

I like to get to know the people that I do business with, as I find that "who" you are has a greater effect on how you do business then "what"what you are or "what" you have. 

I'm new to mortgage industry and I just wanted to see if anyone had a few pointers on marketing your loan programs on other blogs/websites, suggestions on how to approach brokers to keep them engaged right away, and how to assure them that being new to the industry doesn't mean you aren't reliable.

At that point you don't have any risk of the lender calling the loan due (acceleration clause for the first year), plus you can now deduct from this property (assuming its a multifamily) more effectively.

Does the type of income or way I'm taxed effect what kind of loans I can receive.
