Seems like it's usually coming from those who never went through it from start to finish (either by choice or circumstance).

Anybody want to be mentored on developing multi million dollar commercial office buildings?

I spoke on this a while back about a friend of mine who's mother has a house with 3 build able lots (including the original house) that I am helping him wholesale to builders/developers.

My background is in apartment development, but I recently struck out on my own as a sole prop pursuing MHPs in NC.

That is the niche mentality that smaller loan investors need to develop and master.

We're currently renting in Brewerytown Square, the ~6 year old development where the units went up for sale in '06, before the crash.

Message to me: Find developed lots at wholesale.

I am looking at buying a condo in a development that was foreclosed on and is being rezoned for single family homes.

If it leaks again and develop mold, you could be in for a lot more money.
