@Yonah Weiss in short commercial developers/syndicators take on much more risk than MF buy and hold operators. 

My future goals are to have multifamily rentals and residential developments.  

It does nothing for "after acquired title", as in, seller later gets an ownership interest (divorce or inheritance, or from the party *they* bought from).Ideally, you want to buy on a General Warranty Deed and sell on a Special Warranty Deed. 

Ideally, we just want a document stating percentage of ownership for both parties and then action that needs to be taken if the deal or partnership goes sour.

Is the commercial training as well developed as the residential side?

I am an agent in the Atlanta area and I deal exclusively with investors.

Once you develop an appropriate cash reserve it can be adjusted.You did not explain about the 10% down payment.  

when Joe Montana left SF for  KC  real estate doubled in SF and he came back and turned into a vintner and uber developer.. 

Hello, I am an architect in NY and I am taking a leap into developing my first project which ideally is a distressed single family house in Westchester County, NY.

I will need to pay off the existing mortgage ($451k) with a construction loan; at most I can put in $180k toward the build but not sure if that is wise to put so much of my own money in.So far my best option seems to be to partner up with an experienced developer/builder who can put down cash towards the construction downpayment *and* qualify for a bank construction loan.
