I'd really prefer to hear from those that have gone through a similar process as me and get recommendations for lenders to look into?

They all have jobs, populations growing, and you may give up a bit on cash flow, but will have appreciation.Gino

@Kyle O'Donnell In Atlanta area, I recommend you consider Palmer House Properties.

My recommendation is look at the comps yourself and be as realistic as possible. 

What recommendations do you have for insurance on a triplex that's paid off in Miami, FL?

Based on my calculations and preliminary research, I have found that the Bay Area offers good returns from developing land, although acquiring level land and obtaining permits can be challenging.I have a few questions:1) Is it recommended to purchase a complete house plan from online sources like ePlans or similar websites and then customize the architectural design before submitting it to the municipality?

Learn, grow and network with New, Aspiring and Experienced Real Estate Investors!

Otherwise I have a growing network of Realtors across the country that specialize in this lucrative cash flowing strategy! 

I would recommend just checking out all the different tabs at the top of your screen, networking as much as possible, and reading the BP audiobooks when you're driving. 

If you're considering turnkey then I highly recommend @Zach Lemaster at Rent to Retirement.
