I would only go this route if you can't qualify for a regular conventional mortgage or if you don't have someone you can privately lend from.

Time is of the essence here most especially when you are competing with private buyers on a good neighborhood.

If you can find private lenders who have some money and will lend it for around 7-10% interest with no points, that makes sense to use up front (and then later refinance with a bank).

I am wondering what experienced investors/builders might think about the following investment scenarios (sort of passive income): Buy the right piece of land and build a five/six row of townhouses and rent them out (@1,500 sf/unit, maybe rent them @$1/sf or a bit more) Buy a beachfront property overseas and build a small resort (six luxury villas/bungalows) each with private plunge pool and stunning views (charge $350/$400/night)-option 1 is less risky than option 2 but rewards are considerably lower for option 1.
