No way he could have grown his rental business that quick or developed scale, by buying his own properties.  

Quote from @Clint Miller: Anyone here in the community used construction loans to scale their development projects?

Purchase price: $28,000 Cash invested: $28,000 Raw land, and 2 adjacent lots to be developed into duplex rental What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

I know some mentioned about developing banking relationships and I totally agree with that, so here is what you do. 1) Open a business checking account in the name of your LLC to hold the assets. 2) Deposit your cash into that account to fund the real estate purchases3) After owning for 60-90 days, talk with a local lender about a line of credit against the 2 properties at 60% LTV. 4) After about 30-45 days, have the line open to use if you need that liquidity that you used, but until then you are not paying 7% interest on nothing. 

If it's above 700 or 720, I wouldn't worry about it too much (though credit scores are dynamic and change over time, especially with RE developers).

In my development I am building a few of my clients have had packages stolen and one theif even took the welcome mat :)  but these are normal front yards etc.  

I assume pros are little maintenance, no cap ex for maybe at least a decade, and possible favorable loan terms from developers. 

Louis, but I work with investors/developers like yourself across the country.

My goal is to build a business that serves corporate clients; construction and infrastructure development teams,  medical/education faculty,  corporate relocation,  family emergency relocation services,  sports travel/events, corporate and industryand I want to learn from those of you who are doing this successfully and are willing to share actionable ideas for how I can be successful in offering value to these groups.Thank you!!
