You need to define if you are going to create the subdivision and sell off the lots to builders, keep the whole project to yourself and build all the properties, or do a mixture of both (sell some lots and then build your product on others).The key I have seen time and again is the costs are more then projected and the build out takes longer.

Persons in title are generally allowed to assume payments, as with family members and in these times, a family unit is hard to define, but know you're on the hook until it's refinanced in her name.You can certainly run the whole thing by your portfolio lender and ask for a 5 year balloon, that should fit well with such an arrangement.
