Obviously, this isn’t true in every single instance but in my experience property managers tend to out perform agents who also manage properties.

I have had some great success in the single family & small multi-family space over the past several years.

Hello everyone, I bought an investment property (duplex) in Cleveland in October of last year and I am planning to transfer it to LLC owned by myself. Need help with that. 

However, I've observed other houses in the area without original windows, some even rebuilt with new windows using a single-family permit.

In many instances like this one - by the time it gets investigated damage is already done I love these articles not for the fact investors are getting abused.. but the statements about lavish lifestyle  fancy dinners etc etc.. every single white collar litigation or criminal complaint has that exact same language.. and now you know why the Mafia guys just lived in some plain Jane home and maybe drove a caddy and ate at a low end restaurant LOL.  

It has been recently introduced and is supposed to put a cap on the cost to install utility hook ups for new construction and ban hedge funds and corporate entities from buying single family homes in California):SB 1210"This bill would, for new housing construction, prohibit a connection, capacity, or other point of connection charge from a public utility, as defined, or a special district, as defined, for electrical, gas, sewer, or water service from exceeding 1% of the reported building permit value of that housing unit.

Lennar is either 1 or 2 in size in the US DR Horton is the other.. they are production builder so yes quality is not their hallmark.. price is .. 2. wrapping the mortgage could certainly create an event of default with Lennars lending arm. there by trashing your credit. 3. if your buyer stops paying you have to keep paying and foreclose and hope they have not trashed the home when you get it back.. like all things creative finance wise sounds great on paper and is great if it all goes perfect but lots of things can fall apart if things do not go right.. so what is your fico score worth ?  

The last partner's property is a single-family home in their LLC.

What are some banks/lenders that have loan products for development/new construction projects (building from the ground up)?

There are other products in the non-QM space as well: bank statement loans, P&L loans, asset based loans, etc.
