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.

My first 8-10 deals I intend to spend A LOT of time reviewing possible property's to ensure that I'm doing everything correct and so I can begin to grow the best reputation possible with my investors.

Message to me: Find developed lots at wholesale.

I think that generating my reputation through wholesaling will set me up for rehab flipping down the road.

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.
