An idea I had, following on Rayland's (Seattle)'s idea was to sell the project, with approved plans ready to pull for construction for maybe $50k over cost, and ask for a % at the backend, with the understanding that I would stay engaged in the entire process for learning purposes, while minimizing risk during construction phase.

It wouldn't be to their advantage to sign that if they want to stay.

This is our last leg of our trip and we just extended our visa's to stay 60 days in country..

Picking up packages is one thing but I would stay out of the apartment.

Should we look into notes only, and stay away from properties in SDIRA?

However, I think they are just trying to get me to stay for another year.One thing to note, there are several other townhouses in the complex for sale.

My income is erratic: sometimes I pay myself and sometimes I don't (so that the money stays in the business for R&D).

Howdy @John VoychickTo make the BRRRR strategy consistently work over and over you will need to stay within your investing criteria.  

I don't know what it is, but every unit that I put stainless in rents in minimal time, while white appliances seem to stay on the market a while.
