With many seasoned real estate investors locked into low first mortgage rates and large equity positions, many borrowers and investors have been exploring tapping second position loans like home equity lines of credit for reinvestment capital towards down payment or rehabilitation funds. 

Cloud, and Ocala.I’m always interested in connecting with other experienced professionals in this niche—fellow developers, capital allocators, family offices, or intermediaries who focus on residential land/development equity.If you have experience in this space (or want to learn) and are open to exchanging perspectives or exploring potential alignment in the future, feel free to send me a message or connect.Happy to share more about my background, current focus, and market insights in a private conversation.Thanks in advance for any insights or connections, SH Harris

Do I have to explore out of the area or just face the market that I already know for a long time since I live here?

Hello everyone, I hope you’re doing well.I’m currently exploring the idea of investing in new construction properties and would like to get your opinion on whether this is a good investment strategy at the moment.Additionally, do you know of any construction companies with a strong reputation and solid experience, either at a national or local level, that you would recommend for investment purposes?

However, if you're okay sitting on it for now for future use and to create that dream you have, it may be worth keeping it and exploring other creative ways to utilize the land.

I’ve always leaned toward the Dave Ramsey approach, but the more I read, the more conflicting strategies I come across, and it’s getting hard to determine what path makes the most sense long term.I’ve started exploring BiggerPockets tools as well, but I’m not finding much data specific to my area (Memphis, TN), which makes it harder to understand the local market.

The Blizzard in the Northeast has me exploring here for a few extra days now.The beverage offer still stands.

I’m exploring a different strategy for one of my larger properties and would love some input from this community.I have a 6 bed / 5 bath home (4,500+ sq ft on a large lot) and instead of renting it traditionally, I’m considering leasing it to a group home operator or similar organization who would manage the residents and day-to-day operations. 15 mins from downtown BHM.My goal would be a master lease structure where the organization handles the sub-leasing and operations — rather than me managing individual tenants.If you’ve:• Leased to a group home operator• Worked with corporate housing / assisted living / structured living organizations• Structured a master lease like this• Or have recommendations / connectionsI’d really appreciate your insights.Feel free to comment or DM.

That said, we do want to leverage our funds, explore creative financing, and partner with other investors (of course, only if it's a good match) to grow faster and acquire more properties.We’d love to connect with others who have experience in this market—or just like-minded people most likely like you who are open to sharing advice, recommendations, or even partnering on deals.

Never turn down an opportunity until you have fully explored it and then shared the findings with the other party.
