Thanks mate,Spent the last few years on self mastery but still have a long way to go.When I grow up, I want to be like you and Chris heheI owe you guys dinner.Hopefully our paths cross somewhere in the future like Vegas hehe

I am looking to get into some bigger projects such as community homes (20-40 units).

Any insightAll you're really doing is adding living space, just like a garage conversion or garage apartment.Fundamentally this is prepositioning project, and is a solid strategy.

You can keep it on there for future bids or ask for it back after the auction.

I'm not sure if my husband & I will move back in the future. 

Unless you know how to vet a sponsor and their project you're at their mercy once they get your money.

I started looking around for financing but seem to have hit a bit of a wall as most of the lenders are asking how many projects I have finished as the owner/on title.

But I insisted that I would renovate the property one way or another, even though it was clear at that point that the project could only be unprofitable.

Once complete get it rented and order a new appraisal and refi the HML out and put it into long term debt.You can also do all the same things listed above and source a private money lender that would fund the project.
