For some reason, I have the idea of putting together a detailed binder of my plan, markets I'm eyeing, different number projections and scenarios, etc. and understanding that binder backwards and forwards and pitching the plan to potential lenders.Is there some kind of 'checklist' of documents, figures, etc. that I can refer to in order to make sure I have everything on hand that I might need when addressing lenders' concerns and questions, in order to convince them on my plan?

Is there investment groups here in Houston that team up and take on projects together?

We are the last major metropolitan area to get one of these centers - and it's the largest economic development project to happen in Birmingham in YEARS.

I do work for a general contractor as a project manager, so rehabbing and fixing up is something I at least have some experience in.

I’d enjoy speaking with someone who’s done a land development project successfully and how they “vetted” the deal. 

Along the way I check for cash flow, here I deduct all expenses and projections including cost of capital, vacancy, maintenance, PM, capital expenses, from the total income; the remainder is the free cash generated by the investment.

My family owns a construction company in Indianapolis and I would like to start getting into some light/medium sfr rehab projects.

Had an entrepreneurial career, a family, went back to school to get a masters degree (in project management, so that’s helpful).

I’m working on a project and the 12 month term is about to end in approx 3 months.

The practice you get from analyzing deals will help to ensure you don’t pay through the nose for your first deal so as long as you know your limits and don’t bite off a bigger project than you can handle, it should be a very positive and informative process.
