Mid-range is develop some actual affordable housing.

For me personally, I am a cash flow investor (not a developer)  As you know I'm a big fan of mortgage notes and private credit. 

It sounds like you need some deep due diligence to answer several questions about what, how and to what degree the land can be developed.

Hi Richard,I don't know if that's reflective of your situation but oftentimes local developers make (wildly) exaggerated rental income projections to sell their condos.

Our architectural firm is not a developer nor do not have the ability to take on "risk" like investors.

Yet the demand is massive, and the model combines consistent cash flow with real community impact.A few quick points:Demand far outpaces supply in most cities.Homes are leased or operated with long-term stability.Many states offer certification programs that build credibility.Done right, it’s a win-win: investors see returns while residents rebuild their lives.I’ve developed and worked with operators across multiple states, and the success stories are incredible.

I like to be within 90 minutes for ease of access as well as being able to keep an eye on neighborhood developments.

However, developing underwriting skills takes time and experience.

Start small, focus on a few areas, and watch how things develop before diving in.

A friend of mine is a developer and is working on building an app for real estate investors.
