What about other potential loan options like 401(k)?

I have about $40K of savings that we can use to start us off but I would like to see if there are other options to get more seed money. 

I am rebuilding my real estate portfolio and exploring my options about using debt - very carefully. 

While I have enough capital to complete this initial project, I lack the funds for subsequent developments.As I build equity with this first property, but face a shortage of capital for future endeavors, I'm considering my options with the bank.

Now, I would encourage you to buy properties that net SOMETHING...but there are other options for you out there.  

Yes, our team of Realtors, Management Professionals, and our contracting capabilities provided all parties with excellent service and endless options.

I don't spend anywhere near that much time.Personally, I would forgo all partners and move forward on my own if it was an option.

If this quote gives you the option to lock your rate until the expected closing this fall, the long lock could be contributing to the high cost.  

Now, consider your options – developing the entire 5 acres is ambitious and requires substantial investment and expertise.

If you find that you aren't up for active real estate investing there are passive options to invest by partnering with an active experienced investor, investing in a syndication as a limited partner, etc.
