Developing large commercial projects is difficult.I agree that anyone can probably do the first group.

:D There's kinda cashflow and then there's cashflow (Just like mostly dead and all dead).I will say this - if a person can start from the 1% perspective, they will very quickly eliminate a lot of shark realtors and developers and will actually start to find an area where cashflow in excess of the 1% is possible.

I am new to this stuff but have an opportunity to buy brand new properties at a new development called Shadow Creek.

Hopefully this is the right forum for a software request.When I reply to a post I might want to follow the subsequent discussion in the thread.

Plus there has been much development in that area and it borders w/ lower kensington & Northern Liberties which are all areas that are booming right now.

My reasoning behind this is, I am developing less than 1-2 acres of land.

I come from Paris, France not Texas, I am 36, I have recently been transfered with my family by my company (software editor) to the San Francisco area under an L1 Visa for 3 years.

Now you have to do very well to recover...and the muscles you develop from running with anchors on your heels will only serve you to perform GREATLY once the anchors are gone.

The law has the effect of raising the HOA dues when the projects are first sold as the developer can not set a low level and ignore future work.See if there are any state regulations that define what an HOA needs to do.

With builders and developers offering all sorts of incentives like Paid Closing Cost, New Appliance Packages, HOA Fees Paid for 1 to 2 yrs, Mortgage Paid for 1 to 2 yrs... it's very easy to see why properties are staying on the market for longer times.
