Hi,I am looking for suggested reading material that will give me a better understanding of how to use my abilities as a realtor to either connect with a developer, or undertake my own development operation.

The developer also owns more that 10% of the properties.

It's is probably most suitable for a small developer who is interested in splitting the lot or using the land for commercial purposes.Jameson Triplett We have a couple reasons for selling: 1.

With all my skills learned from BP, I have identified 2 properties in my city, brief information about both of the properties is mentioned below.I am planning to purchase this property with 2 purpose in mind, for next 6 - 8 years ( or more then that) I'll put this property on rent and after that I may stay there or I may not ( may relocate to another city, Nagpur).First Property •Located in an area which is developing rapidly as it is near to a big software SEZ.

The reason I am keeping a rental despite my preference for flipping is due to the fact that by having some passive income flowing in, it's easier for me to keep a rational head when identifying deals since i am depending on flipping and doing deals as a full time job and sole source of income.Without some source of income, I get antsy when I haven't flipped or done or deal after a long period, increasing my chances of making a mistake.

Is this really a developer or an investor just wanting to buy cheap and land bank the property until development comes along??

Typically you would retain 10% in an escrow account from the investor and when the investment is identified you 'Call' on the capital in full balance to be delivered.

The spotcrime website seems to be a good one too.I wonder if there are any good places to identify trends over time:- quality of schools - improving or declining?

Well since I’ve been in deep thought on putting rentals in LLCs and asset protection past few days on Ali’s blog (thanks Ali) I would propose the first thing to do would be to identify and rectify any mechanical or electrical hazard issues.

Each of them focused on different market(s), varying neighborhood demographics, and with slightly different investment philosophies.Without getting into a lengthy step-by-step explanation, my suggestion to help point you in the right direction is to focus on markets with a stable housing market, and a growing (or stable) local economy.Once you've identified the best market for you and your investment goals, then select neighborhood and property combinations that make the most sense.
