Again, something to understand as you develop your strategy. 

I found a deal where new development is happening, $250k homes are selling on a street where properties right next door are valued at $50k.

As an example, if you like short term, high risk, with the chance of higher returns, you may want to invest in a development project or MH bridge debt.

You can always develop your own, buy why not take what has already been used multiple times and has been legally tested.  

I am not buying, buying, buying, so the changes come with appreciation (which are pretty good, since I've been buying next to developments). 

My sharing openly and honestly about who I am, my club members have come to appreciate the vulnerability I share and it develops a sense of trust and intimacy in a relationship.

Or I suppose I could pay it off with the HELOC and consolidate...if the numbers work of course.as one who has created a few LID's in the past as a developer.. we did those through different types of Bonds which are then attached to your tax bill .. in CA they are mello Roos  1915 act.. etc etc.. these have to do with selling in the secondary market and if the county backs them or not if the owner does not pay.Any way way back in the day these bonds were written at 8 to 12% interest.. yield for the note investors.. 

Trying to develop something before it hits the market is a current strategy.  

The Department of Housing and Urban Development reports that the homeless population grew 0.3% this year, a second annual increase after seven years of declines.

@Brock Norton, I think you may be confusing a few things here.Federal Housing Authority (FHA) loans are backed by Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to help new buyers get into a property with a very low down payment.
