When that does not work, I ask them if we can do a wrap around loan so that the seller is basically owner financing the property to me.

I have a standardized Scope of Work project that I'd be happy to share for someone's review. 

Basically, looking to see what the adjusted cost basis should be for this property.

All these questions swirled in my head as I contemplated this project.

You're basically going to be going hunting for hard corner vacant lots, and tying them up to either sell or ground lease to MCD's. 

It is always recommended to do a cost benefit analysis before doing a project to determine the feasibility.Whether using private money or not the cost benefit has to be addressed.It will affect investment and equity when measuring profit.

in return for being allowed to promote the projects on their websites, hold themselves out as the co-gp etc.

That’s basically giving up another property after a couple deals. 

When these payees are shared across all projects, it's a mess tracking what expense goes to which property.What's the simplest/easiest way to do this?

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