With the personal relationship you've developed, she/he often would give you a more honest advice.

I can buy, fix and sale but understand that I do much better when I can focus on my strengths while developing my weaknesses at my own pace.On my last deal I happen to find the ideal partner.

I always keep my radar up on potential revenue streams or other value add opportunities.Seems though that cities and counties have a great many more restrictions now on cell towers making it harder to work with cell phone providers.

I'm getting $1,300 for a 1/1 in a class B development

Jonathan look up the taxes and divide by 12 to get monthly tax costs.Look for the HOA docs to see if there is an assessment and how much.Usually if you find a listing on MLS in that subdivision there will be some houses and it will list association dues monthly or yearly.For instance if taxes are 1,000 and HOA 1,500 then you have about 208.33 a month in costs.If you buy for 4,000 and hold for 2 years you have to get at least 9,000 in 2 years time to break even and even more with closing costs etc.That money will be dead not generating a return for you.You also need to know the soil sample and build ability of the lot.This will be a factor from who buys from you if they want to build a house.On the MLS you can see what developed lots are selling for.Is this lot developed and cleared with pipes sticking out of the ground or does it still have all the trees and uncleared and ungraded in it's natural state??

Simply, how do development costs get added to land values so a bank honors that cost my down payment amount of 20% loan to value?

CRIME is a big one.The percentage of non-violent to violent infractions and if crime is increasing or decreasing in the immediate area.Intermodal transportation study is another and the future land use map.This will give you an idea of where they are today and what they have planned for the area in the future and how the city and county will be allocating their resources to develop certain areas.Much more items than this but it's been a long day and my brain is out of fuel........ :)

. - If you follow a company, you'll be kept up to speed with the latest developments at that company, but otherwise, the new companies directory should not affect your experience on the site, unless you want it to. - Companies are NOT able to post on our forums.

It's mainly a revenue-generating source for the cities.

Here are the stats:I have total into the house $55kCurrent value is around $70-75kI owe about $20kMy PITI is $425/moCurrent rent paid $895/moI would obviously be making money off the sell but I am also giving up a stream of revenue if I can't find something else to buy should the option be exercised.
