I plan to develop a subdivision in Hawaii with a unique (for Hawaii) offering.

Great question and unique scenario, I'd likely consult a foreclosure attorney on this one.

Not having done a deal before, what advice can you give to prove myself worthy of the task?

By having access to over 40 lenders (including major banks/institutions), we're able to compare options and choose the ideal lender and interest rate for each client's unique goals. 

Hi John - I think yu are already a good bit motivated because you are on here writing about it, Staying motivated is without question sometimes a difficult task.

MFcan potentially give you more cash flow and higher ROI but as @Simon Campbell points out, they come with some unique sets of challenges that new investors might not be prepared for, namely, more transient tenants, higher vacancy rates and more repairs at turn over.

I'm guessing the buyer will have a unique purpose/use for it.

Most managers know how to do the day-to-day tasks (fire them if they don't :lol: ).

I also like how you developed a unique strategy that worked for everyone with leasing to the seller for a year, and the optional memorandum do give yourself options if the need arises.

I’ll seek the proven wisdom and leave the unique strategies to those with capital to throw around.
