WHEDA (Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority) has owner occupied loans you can use on a two family and actually put nothing down - at least they did last year. 

Start developing your network early. 

I eventually want to improve/add value and develop real estate as I gain more experience and connections in the industry.

If you decide to go the mortgage broker way and are successful, you will develop a solid relationship as well. 

I have 3 adjacent properties in the Los Angeles that are going to be in an Opportunity Zone.One thing I cant find is how to go about finding funding from Opportunity Funds if I want to re-develop the land.

I am considering doing a 1031 exchange for two properties (1) a SFR ($230Kish) I will turn to a shor term rental (STR) and (2) about 27 acres ($200K) of raw timber land I would subdivide and develop into more SFR-STRs within the next three years. 

Has anyone had experience with a Boston-region prefab building company for multi-family development?

Would this effect the property value by decreasing the income I could have had for this unit or could rehab be considered a years rent for tax and property value purposes? 

As for Zoning, I gave a call to my friendly town development team today and they were extremely nice and helpful.

Aside from the differences in ideology, I find the discussions stem in part from the underlying premises and the syntax used.Basically if money should return at least 10% on average, the leverage camp [which I'd consider myself] more or less views a return below that baseline as effectively "negative CF".
