Purchase price: $28,000 Cash invested: $28,000 Raw land, and 2 adjacent lots to be developed into duplex rental What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

The developments and businesses moving here.

Entry price point, avg rents, and upcoming developments!  

That's why my friend—who's a real estate investor—and I decided to develop our own tool.

To my understanding, there is an area the the villages is putting its name on that is not 55+ but I am not sure when this will get developed.

You can do a trial and see if bank feeds connect, if it does, I would then recommend using it over QBO.One of my client that just started in development is short on funds so Xero was the only best option and they are using a local bank so we couldn't connect and a lot of manual entries. 

If you had not team in those areas and could not have reasonably developed one, then you missed thing.You say you’ve done well in Chicago.

If you develop a great relationship with local credit unions, you'll be surprised by what all they're capable of.   

Quote from @Clint Miller: Anyone here in the community used construction loans to scale their development projects?

If the number are close[100k or less], do preemptive due diligence [water, sewer, stormwater, planning and zoning] if the property is considered for a new build development situation.
