People are pouring money into commercial real estate development because it's so "safe."

In light of this, if one develops a good relationship with an attorney.  

Hello Everybody,My name is Danielle and I'm interested in developing and joining together a real estate investing group to strategically purchase and renovate homes for rental or resale.Great!!

Work as a CPA for a pharmaceutical developer. 

Adding to the appeal of the area is the development of Silverdale which has added a new shopping center that features Forever 21, Total Wines & More, & Chipotle; and renovating older shopping centers that have brought in notable stores like H&M and already hosting Kohl's, Macy's, and Barnes & Nobles.

That said, you still have to qualify for VA payment wise and would probably need a "normal" income stream for at least two years until you develop an income tax history.

They operate a great team over there.The CPA is a client of mine who specializes in working with local business owners for developing tax strategies and may be a great fit.

So it's been a few days since I've taken the time to invest in writing on the posts...so for those interested in the numbers on this deal, here goes:The list price was just under $600kMy first offer was accepted at $200kMy two partners and I each invested $20k to purchase the property (1st mortgage)We took a second mortgage of 5-years for the construction (rehab) loan totaling $250kCounty assessed the property at $750kThe fair market appraisal was $450kWe developed a 3-phase rehab of the property which included p-1 to replace parking, repair all roofs above spaces less than 6,000 sq. ft.

I know the price of the property, the going rents, and if some development is coming that will either hurt or help my situation.

The goal is to start small and then invest in more multi-family homes (over time ) via house hacking each property until we can pyramid up into commercial apartments and eventually purchase our first home while generating passive income from our rental properties( we will continue to work in our current professions).
