While this is a lot, I am looking to start with either the stable or the lodging in place and then expand. 

I'm super excited to start this journey and am happy to have found BP and this community to help and guide me!

For the past 25 years we have been one of a few GC's in this area, but now we are starting to see the big guys come in (Castle Rock, Chesmar, Lennar, etc.).

if you buy, develop properties and then sell them.You are considered a 'developer' and the land / houses are inventory. therefore, the income would be ordinary and not capital gains.

They moved, as renters, into our suburban neighborhood in 2019 for the schools given that their first child was starting kindergarten. 

As I gained more knowledge and experience, I understood that everything is negotiable in real estate investment, and it starts with evaluating the properties and the underwriting templates.Understanding lender underwriting and income restrictions is crucial for success.

You can hire a process server- that's probably the best place to start. 

I am looking for an investor to partially fund some of the soft costs for a large townhouse project I'm working on.  Term 12 months or less.

I have always been interested but never knew where to start. 

Anyone know how to start an area?
