@Francys Crevier I personally don't know too much about the DC metro area but I would also look at the population growth of folks with jobs and income growth as well.

Now you can cater to investors at stage 0 of the development where the investor might achieve equity growth by stage 3 to 4 as the subdivision finishes out.

That would be immensely appreciated. 

Or make it suitable for a growth farm?

Identify market trends and do analysis such as population growth, jobs, and economics, in that area.

Put your priorities in order, get a good solid W2 income, save money and proceed down the proper path to wealth growth.

Do you value equity growth or steady monthly income more?

Conversely, is now the time to discuss future plans for growth with this lender, or keep your mouth shut and be conservative?

So I have a rental property that has about 150k in equity, rather then cash out refi can I use this as collateral to fund a purchase and rehab of a mixed use building to grow my retail business (10 years old with proven growth record) and portfolio at the same time?

Thank you - immensely grateful to the BP community.
