But essentially Apple is injecting a TON of revenue into the local economy which attracts investors AND people wanting to move to the area.

What you spent on the land/lots can go towards your down payment and, if you've owned the land for more than 6 months, you can use the value of the property toward the cash injection requirement.

The seller will also have to sign documents that are required and it will hold them liable for debts since they are on title.Best way to set that up is run the numbers and create a partnership based on the equity of the land and your cash injection and sweat equity.

I have to decide if im going to use a new injection of capital from the sale of my primary residence to:1) Hold in treasury bills at 4.5 percent until I find another property to purchase2) Pay off one of two existing mortgages, one at 3.75 percent and another at 4.5 percent3) Just find something to buy that beats either of those percentages on paper and be done with it4) Possibly loan out some hard money/broker it to a friend to allocateIts never an easy decision, but its a good problem to have.

Do you have the Capacity/Ability to close, do you have the Character/Credit to close (including relevant experience), and do you have the liquidity to properly provide enough collateral (are you injecting enough into the deal).

Are there any city or lender required repairs that will require an immediate injection of capital?

Given today’s interest rates, a highly-leveraged arrangement (where you’re putting 3% or 5% down) probably isn’t going to generate any cash flow, so unless you’re comfortable with injecting money into the deal every month, I’d recommend accumulating more cash before you start investing.Generally speaking, a good place to begin is when you have enough for a 20% down payment, closing costs, and 3 to 6 months of reserves.

Unsurprisingly our economy is doing much better than theirs currently after that hot money injection.

Most lenders are going to want to see a few big things from the ownership group. 1) The borrower will be the enitity (LLC, S-Corp, etc) and any owner with usually 20% or more of ownership in the entity will be expected to guaranty the loan, 2) We'll want to see some experience doing similar projects from at least one of the main owners, 3) We'll want to see bank statements showing liquidity enough to cover the intial cash injection (down payment), the closing cost, and some cash in reserve.

Some investors rely on the BRRRR method to keep their capital working, but in a high-rate market, a short-term strategy like flipping a property could also provide a quick cash injection to maintain growth.
