Have you got your eye on any specific properties?

Things take much longer to develop than people think.Typically when you see big apartment buildings go up it is a 3 to 5 year process.It might only be a few years from the time the public hears about it but before that years of legwork went into getting to that point.I couldn't say if right now was the right time to build.Everything is project specific.If the city will let you use a class C finish rather than a class A the numbers will save you money.Just to give a for instance some cities will demand a traffic light be put in for some projects.The traffic light parts itself are not that expensive but with the fiber optic hookup and underground cabling you are talking hundreds of thousands just for that one item.Typically on larger projects it's a fight for the developer to make profit.They propose a certain density and drawing.The county or city then wants to reduce the density and add in all these road improvements and lights at the cost of the developer.All the costs have to work for both parties to get a deal done.I have seen some projects take 2 years to get approved from submitting after going back and forth with revisions and tabling until the next meeting.So half the battle is the cost and financing available when you break ground and the other is the political junk.How much total land would you be getting??

You had an eye such as an interior decorator for what you knew would bring in the good profits.

Most I have seen are buying them for a lake house or hunting lodge.I'm not saying to not do this deal, just go in with your eyes wide open.Good luck.

Sure, if we owned them all as rentals we would cash flow more, but in our eyes it's a lot more hassle and maintenance for us, we prefer to get our lot rents and call it a day, different strokes for different folks.

If not, then now is a good time to do so . . . over the course of the next weeks, we will periodically be posting special conference deals via these sources.Keep your eyes peeled for announcements and save!

He has the eye of the tiger right now.

At this point I am just trying to focus on getting their eyes on the material.

This was definitely eye opening study on the importance of watching out for nuances in the case history.

Then, at least some of them, look you in the eye and think "what's the most I can bid and get this job?"
