Does anyone have any ideas , I have approached hard money lenders and they charge a higher rate One actually wanted 9% but I would have to flip the house because he wanted the loan repaid in one year.

I have not approached her, because I know her house needs a lot of work and I do not know how to come up with a sensible total for repairs, which means I need a Contractor.

With the corner and access you make the rules.300k is way to low and they can make up for it on the other 23 acres giving you more money.You really need someone on your side.If I were there I would work for you and NOT the developer.They are trying to wear you down and see the lowest you will take.You know the income approach but it helps also to have knowledge from the other side like I do of what the developer will do with the property and how they will most likely extract the most money for themselves.This will help you not hold them hostage but capitalize on their problem.Sounds like an unseasoned developer because they should have known long ago they needed your property to make it work.From an access,architectural,and design standpoint they need your land.

I'm a bit uncomfortable leveraging myself with credit, but would rather take a slow and steady approach of buying a rental home, getting a renter in it, pay off the first home, buy another rental property, the take the money from the 2 rentals and roll that into the 3rd home, etc.

I have take a class with Robyn Thompson since then and enjoyed the different approach.

I always feel more interested in the requests when something is communicated other than just a scatterhorn approach.

I cannot suggest the company I use as they are only for companies with a specific amount of units.Be very careful with the whole I will wait until I meet them approach.

Jon has been an incredible asset to the community, and I hope you'll leave some appreciation for his efforts in keeping this place running smoothly.It is not an easy job that we have in keeping our community second to none, but I do believe that there is no other real estate community that comes close.

Can you paint over the aluminum siding or would replacing it be the best approach?

I know Jon goes month to month and has his approach.
